Commodity pool Similar to investment funds (also available as ETFs). However, instead of shares, investments are made in commodities, commodity derivatives or commodity-producing companies. On the one hand, investors benefit from the professional management of the commodity pool, which provides access to more exclusive trades. On the other hand, the pooled capital of many investors allows for greater diversification and leverage. Finally, the risk associated with this investment is limited to the capital invested in the commodity pool and is therefore easily manageable.
