What is BCM?

The iPath Pure Beta Broad Commodity ETN is linked to the Barclays Capital Commodity Index Pure Beta TR (the "Index") and reflects the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts on physical commodities comprising the Index, while mitigating the effects of certain distortions in the commodity markets on such returns through the application of the Barclays Capital Pure Beta Series 2 Methodology. The Index is comprised of a basket of exchange traded futures contracts. However, unlike many commodity indices which roll their exposure to the corresponding futures contract on a monthly basis in accordance with a pre-determined roll schedule, the Index may roll into one of a number of futures contracts with varying expiration dates, as selected using the Barclays Capital Pure Beta Series 2 Methodology. In addition, the Index reflects the rate of interest that could be earned on cash collateral invested in specified Treasury Bills.
