Gold has been hamstrung by rising global bond yields. Oil prices are soaring on the back of geopolitical conflicts.

Real assets are taking on a bigger role in portfolios as the global economy needs more physical infrastructure. SS&C ALPS Advisors offers several ETF strategies designed to capture different parts of the real-assets market.

Helped by fresh demand drivers from the world of artificial intelligence (AI), among other catalysts, there's ample talk that a new commodities supercycle is afoot. This could potentially give rise to ETFs such as the USCF SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Strategy No K-1 Fund (SDCI).

Broad commodities ETFs are commanding renewed attention this year due to a variety of factors. Those include surging energy prices and some lethargy in the precious metals market, a segment investors often tap with single-commodity ETFs.

Electrification ETFs, commodities, and the line between investing and speculation were at the center of this week's ETF Prime. Host Nate Geraci welcomed Paul Baiocchi, head of fund sales and strategy at SS&C ALPS Advisors, and Dave Nadig of ETF.com.

Gold — the commodity most investors associate with the category — doesn't currently appear at all in one broad commodities fund's portfolio. Refined fuel contracts top the lineup instead.

USCF SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Strategy No K-1 Fund ETF is downgraded from 'Buy' to 'Hold' after a strong 21%+ return since September 2025. SDCI remains heavily weighted to petroleum (34.6%), exposing it to oil price volatility and recent geopolitical developments, notably the Iran ceasefire. WTI oil prices have round-tripped to historical averages, but U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve depletion and unresolved Middle East tensions keep supply risks elevated.

Registered investment advisors did not pull back on exchange-traded funds in the first quarter of 2026. They kept adding them, according to AdvizorPro's Q1 2026 Quarterly RIA ETF Trends Report.

A dynamic commodities strategy can enhance an investment portfolio's returns over the long term.

SDCI has demonstrated robust performance, significantly outperforming its peers over the past year with a gain of over 20%, and has a high momentum rating. The fund's methodology selects 14 commodities each month from a universe of 27 by choosing those with the greatest backwardation (or least contango), essentially betting on a 'normalization.' The fund's primary advantage for retail investors is its structure, which allows it to issue a standard Form 1099 instead of the more complex K-1 form.
