Commodity Select

Commodity prices have weakened in recent months due to contracting global economies, market turmoil and de-leveraging by investors. Although prices may remain weak in the short term, the longer term picture is more positive, with supply pressures and robust emerging market demand supporting future growth.

Commodity investment and research experts Barclays Wealth has identified a solution for those investors keen to tap into the growth potential of this exciting sector, but remain concerned about risk and potential capital loss.

Diversification and Access

Barclays Wealth Commodity Select Plan is a new investment where potential returns are linked to a diverse basket of commodities focussing on energy, agriculture, base and precious metals, giving your clients exposure to the key components of the asset class.

The basket is broadly based on the S&P GSCI index but weighted towards the commodities we believe will perform best over the next few years. And unlike the S&P GSCI index, which references sub-indices for agricultural commodities, the basket provides direct exposure to corn, wheat and soybeans.

Enhanced Returns with Investment Protection

Commodity Select investors have the opportunity to receive 100% of any growth in the basket over a five-year period, with 100% maximum return.  What’s more your clients can enjoy these returns with the comfort of repayment of their capital provided the investment is held for the full term. Early encashment may result in a loss of capital.
