GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Index Fund (GCC) is an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) that provides an innovative and efficient way to deliver broad based, diversified commodity exposure. It aims to achieve this by using futures contracts to track the Thomson Reuters Equal Weight Continuous Commodity Total Return Index (CCI)†. The CCI-TR is an equal weighted index of 17 commodities plus an additional Treasury Bill yield. Because of the equal weighting, GCC offers significant exposure to grains, livestock, and soft commodities and a lower energy weighting than many of its peers. In addition, GCC is rebalanced every day in order to maintain each commodity’s weight as close to 1/17th of the total as possible.

Thomson Reuters Equal Weight Continuous Commodity Total Return Index (CCI)‡ has been recognized as an unbiased, major barometer of commodity prices for many years. The CCI represents the ninth revision of the original Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) developed in 1957. The CCI is an equal weighted index of 17 commodities that are averaged across the futures curve six months out.
