This is the only UCITS III compliant ETF in Europe on the S&P GSCI index, which is reliable and publically available, and used as both an economic indicator and a measure of investment performance. Importantly, the index provider has adapted the methodology to European legal constraints,” said Daniele Tohmé-Adet, Region Head THEAM products at BNP Paribas Investment Partners.
