Investing in commodities can be a tempting but difficult path for investors who react impulsively to market headlines and short-term price movements. The temptation to chase recent market performance is a common pitfall for many investors, and it's a mistake that may be particularly costly in the volatile world of commodities.

BCD is a relatively underutilized (low-liquidity), K-1 free ETF that follows a longer-dated strategy, with an expense ratio of 0.30% and a yield of 3.37%. I see it as an interesting balanced solution to navigate the risks currently priced into the markets: the case of stagflation. Its short-term monetary component benefits from high interest rates, while its commodities exposure leverages inflationary risks in the U.S.

I remain bullish on commodities, especially with China's stimulus, and recommend the abrdn Bloomberg All Commodity Longer Dated Strategy K-1 Free ETF. BCD focuses on longer-dated futures contracts, reducing contango impact, and offers broad exposure across Energy, Agriculture, and Metals. BCD's K-1 free structure simplifies tax reporting, making it more investor-friendly compared to other commodity ETFs.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become an increasingly popular investment vehicle in recent years — even more than mutual funds.  This growing popularity is due to the fact that ETFs are typically low-maintenance, have low fees and afford investors exposure to tens, hundreds or even thousands of positions under a single ETF.

Commodities are making a comeback due to Chinese manufacturing resurgence and a strong US economy. The abrdn Bloomberg All Commodity Longer Dated Strategy K-1 Free ETF is a good portfolio addition for 2024. The ETF follows the Bloomberg Commodity Index 3 Month Forward TR and is currently overweight gold and the oil construct.

Commodity prices have been steady in 2023, with mixed performance across different sectors. The bull market in commodities began in 2020 due to central bank liquidity, declining fiat currency values, and low inventories. Geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties suggest higher commodity prices in 2024, making a diversified approach to commodity exposure important.
