Commodity Universe
The S&P GSCI (formerly the S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity Index) serves as a benchmark for investment in commodity markets. The index currently holds 24 commodity futures from all commodity sectors - energy products, industrial metals, agricultural products, livestock products and precious metals. Therefore, the S&P GSCI Total Return index measures a fully collateralized commodity futures investment that is rolled forward, on a monthly basis.
