Agriculture: what the data says

A diversified fund tracking agricultural commodities like corn, soybeans, wheat, and sugar, sensitive to harvests, weather, and global food demand. Unlike metals, agricultural prices are driven mostly by seasonal and weather factors — droughts, frosts, and climate events like El Niño can have an immediate impact on harvests and therefore prices. It offers diversified exposure across multiple crops at once, reducing the risk tied to any single agricultural commodity.
