CMCI Sector Indices
As well as being positioned as a leading benchmark for commodity markets, the CMCI has a family of individual sector and component indices across multiple maturities which provide unprecedented flexibility for strategic investment.
The CMCI family of sub-indices provide the toolbox for professional investors who want to implement a tailored strategy based on the commodity and curve allocation. The CMCI family of sub-indices allows you to predefine not only which commodities to be exposed to, but also maturities for each commodity or each group of commodities, precisely as you wish.
The CMCI family includes 27 commodity futures, which can be grouped into 5 sectors, with a series of available investment maturities. Any combination is possible by blending single indices, enabling you to develop your own tailored strategy. Or, alternatively, you can rely on the CMCI Composite Index without having to focus on maturity choices.

This document does not constitute an offer of services in jurisdictions where MerQube Inc., and affiliates (collectively “MerQube”) do not have the necessary licenses. All information provided by MerQube is impersonal and not tailored to the needs of any person, entity or group of persons. MerQube receives compensation in connection with licensing its indices to third parties and providing custom calculation services. Past performance of an index is not an indication or guarantee of future results.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Exposure to an asset class represented by an index is available through investable instruments based on that index. MerQube does not sponsor, endorse, sell, promote or manage any investment fund or other investment vehicle that is offered by third parties and that seeks to provide an investment return based on the performance of any index. MerQube makes no assurance that investment products based on the index will accurately track index performance or provide positive investment returns. MerQube, Inc. is not an investment advisor, and MerQube makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any such investment fund or other investment vehicle. A decision to invest in any such investment fund or other investment vehicle should not be made in reliance on any of the statements set forth in this document. Prospective investors are advised to make an investment in any such fund or other vehicle only after carefully considering the risks associated with investing in such funds, as detailed in an offering memorandum or similar document that is prepared by or on behalf of the issuer of the investment fund or other investment product or vehicle.
Closing prices for indices are calculated by MerQube based on the closing price of the individual constituents of the index as set by their primary exchange. Closing prices are received by MerQube from one of its third-party vendors and verified by comparing them with prices from an alternative vendor. The vendors receive the closing price from the primary exchanges.

PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE
Charts and graphs are provided for illustrative purposes. Past performance is not an indication or guarantee of future results. The charts and graphs may reflect hypothetical historical performance. All information presented prior to the launch date is back tested. Back-tested performance is not actual performance but is hypothetical. The back-test calculations are based on the same methodology that was in effect when the index(es) was officially launched. However, back-tested data may reflect the application of the index methodology with the benefit of hindsight, and historical calculations may change based on revisions to the economic data used in the calculation of the index. Complete index methodology details are available at www.merqube.com. It is not possible to invest directly in any index.
The First Value Date is the first day for which there is a calculated value (either live or backtested) for a given index. The Launch Date designates the date upon which the values of a given index are first considered live: index values provided for any date or time period prior to the index’s Launch Date are considered backtested. MerQube defines the Launch Date as the date by which the values of an index are known to have been released to the public.
The index returns shown do not represent the results of actual trading of securities. MerQube, Inc. does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the index(es) or investment funds that are intended to track the performance of the index(es). The imposition of these fees and charges would cause actual and back-tested performance of the fund/investment vehicle to be lower than the performance of the index that the vehicle/fund tracks.
