About EAPCX

Parametric Commodity Strategy Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to provide broad-based, diversified exposure to the global commodities market. The fund primarily invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as swaps and futures, which are supported by a portfolio of high-quality fixed-income securities, mainly U.S. Treasury obligations and money market instruments. Its strategy encompasses a systematic, rules-based process that allocates across 32 different commodities, aiming to reduce concentration risk by maintaining target weights and implementing disciplined periodic rebalancing. The underlying benchmark for the fund is the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return, reflecting its focus on representing the wide spectrum of liquid and economically significant commodities, including metals, energy, and agricultural products. Notably, the fund may hold overweight or underweight positions in specific commodities or sectors versus the benchmark to optimize diversification and manage risk. With a track record dating to 2012 and a significant asset base, the Parametric Commodity Strategy Fund Class A plays a critical role for investors seeking total return and inflation protection through alternative asset exposure in the commodities market.
