Innovative in the realm of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), USCF Investments recently announced that the USCF ETF Trust platform has crossed the $500 million mark in assets under management (AUM). The USCF SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Strategy No K-1 Fund has had a very strong year-to-date performance and has been nominated by ETF.com for "Commodity ETF of the Year." The SDCI was launched in 2018 for investors interested in broad and dynamic commodity exposure without the headache of a K-1 form. The fund has matured over seven years of industry competition for investor interest and market presence within the commodity ETF spectrum. Established in 2006, USCF Investments continues to be an advocate for making commodity and alternative investment products accessible to all investors in the widest sense. Since then, the firm has expanded to offer fifteen ETFs on commodities and alternative asset classes, further consolidating its renowned position among leaders in commodity investment strategies.

The Rise of Alternative Investments

USCF is a major player in alternative investment strategies such as commodities for portfolio diversification and inflation hedging. For broad commodity exposure, SDCI, offered by USCF, provides an avenue for structured and tax-efficient exposure. It is a dynamic commodity strategy using the SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Index (SDCITR) to systematically rebalance its holdings based on prevailing market trends. The key dynamic nature of this strategy is critical for achieving better risk-adjusted returns which can favorably strengthen its position as a compelling alternative to traditional commodity investment vehicles. 

SDCI has critical differentiating traits that reinforce its different competitive edge in the marketplace. It neither requires K-1 tax filings nor provides broad diversification across numerous commodity sectors within its dynamic changing strategy against the background of market change that must be an advantage over static index-based commodity funds.

Recognition from the Investment Community

The investors' greater acceptance of USCF Investments, an entity owned by The Marygold Companies, has led to the nomination of this firm for the ETF.com award for the "Commodity ETF of the Year." The Commodity ETF Award acknowledges ETFs that have excelled in the modern commodities arena, introducing newness and impacting this sector. Based in Walnut Creek, California, USCF Investments, a leader in innovation within the realm of commodity and alternative investments, is currently well-situated to extend its successful presence by evolving its offerings to meet the needs of a shifting market. The nomination itself stands as a testament to SDCI's accomplishment of generating investor value through a carefully articulated commodity strategy.

Important Investment Considerations

Trading in commodities and futures entails inherent risks, including prices remaining volatile and the risk of loss of principal. The performance of SDCI and all other USCF funds will be influenced by prevailing market conditions and the investment risks applicable to the commodities sector. An investor should consider carefully the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. Following a recent string of milestones and further growth of the USCF ETF Trust platform, the firm stands on the verge of further widening in the ETF industry. USCF will continue working to develop innovative solutions that meet long-term financial goals.
