Bache Commodities Index

The Bache Commodities Index (BCI)SM is a highly effective tool that gives institutional investors access to the world's leading commodities markets. The index consists of 19 commodities traded on seven major futures exchanges in the United States and the United Kingdom, providing broad, long-term diversified exposure to major traded commodities. The daily valuations of the BCISM are published daily on Reuters and Bloomberg.

The construction of BCISM offers reduced turnover, volatility, and risk compared with that of other indices, while closely tracking the potential returns of the sector. In addition, BCISM rebalances to target weights daily to prevent the index from becoming dominated by a single commodity or commodity sector.

Since the launch of BCISM at the beginning of 2007, Bache Commodities Group has seen strong interest in the Index from a broad range of clients and utilization of the Index with structured products. In addition, Bache Commodities Group has won mandates to manage investment portfolios against the BCISM from clients, including European pension funds.
