Commodity Fund Strategies PIMCO Commodity Real Return Strategy Fund: PCRIX
The fund captures the performance potential of commodities through derivative exposure to the Bloomberg Commodity Index. The fund collateralizes its derivative exposure with a portfolio of TIPS and other fixed income instruments including bonds,
debt securities and other issuances of various U.S. and non-U.S. public or private-sector entities. TIPS and other fixed income products may decline in value if interest rates rise, and may be particularly sensitive if real
interest rates rise rapidly. Total assets: $10.6 billion. Expenses: 0.74%.
Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund: CRSOX
The fund uses a wholly-owned subsidiary to invest in derivatives that provide exposure to the Bloomberg Commodity Index. It primarily uses swaps but can also hold futures and structured notes. The goal is to track the benchmark without much tracking error. Management tries to modestly outpace the benchmark by
picking favorably priced spots on commodity futures curves and employing low-risk cash management. Total assets: $4.8 billion. Expenses: 0.78%
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund: BRCYX
The fund invests in derivatives and other commodity-linked instruments. The fund is actively managed to exploit opportunities caused by the theory of commodity storage: Invesco places strategic
allocation in commodities that are difficult or costly to store. They believe this property provides attractive expected returns. Total Assets: $726 million. Expenses: 0.97%
iPath Bloomberg Commodity ETN: DJP
The exchange-traded note (ETN) is a senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt security issued by Barclays Bank PLC. The ETN is designed to provide exposure to the Bloomberg Commodity Index.

Manager Score Factor CommentsPIMCO:Comm RR Str;Inst (PCRIX) Organization The 2014 departures of the firm’s co-founder, Bill Gross, and his co-CIO, Mohamed El-Erian, will have significant implications for
the firm in the long run. In 2014 alone, PIMCO saw nearly $150 billion leave its assets under management. We are confident in the structure of PIMCO, still one of the largest active fixed income managers in the world; however the rapid change in leadership and assets bears concern.
PIMCO:Comm RR Str;Inst (PCRIX) Philosophy & Process The fund benefitted from falling interest rates due to its exposure to TIPS and other fixed income instruments in its collateral holdings. This exposure is likely to negatively impact the fund when rates normalize, and consumer prices rise in response to greater economic productivity.
