Five new commodity ETFs: sugar, soybeans, wheat, oil, natural gas,

Teucrium announced this week the filing with the SEC of registration statements for five new commodity Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). 

These ETFs cover sugar, soybeans, and wheat. 
  • CANE: Teucrium Sugar Fund
  • SOYB: Teucrium Soybean Fund
  • WEAT: Teucrium Wheat Fun
  • CRUD:  Teucrium WTI Crude Oil Fund
  • NAGS:  Natural Gas Fund
 These proposed ETFs will join the Teucrium Corn Fund. 

"Each is designed to offer investors and hedgers liquidity, transparency and capacity in single-commodity ETF products. ETFs are transparent because holdings are disclosed daily on a website and liquid because they can be traded throughout the market day."

“By filing registration statements for these five single-commodity ETFs, three of which are intended to offer individual exposure to these agricultural commodities, we are trying to break new ground,” said Sal Gilbertie, Founder and President of Teucrium Trading LLC. “We design all of our ETFs for real exposure to the underlying commodity itself.”

Gilbertie said all five of these ETFs have been designed to incorporate Teucrium’s unique approach to tracking the price of the underlying commodity. “I believe our differentiation in the marketplace starts with our team’s ability to design products based on our expertise and commodities-trading experience,” he said. “We design our ETFs to offer investors and hedgers simple and efficient single-commodity ETF products that are intended to closely track each index, after fees.”
