What is ZSB?

The USCF Sustainable Battery Metals Strategy Fund (ZSB) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in metals derivative instruments ("Metals Derivatives") and, to a lesser extent in the equity securities of companies ("Metals Equities" and, together with Metals Derivatives, "Metals Investments") that are economically tied to the metals that are necessary for "Electrification". The Adviser believes that demand for certain metals will increase as the global economy undergoes a process known as Electrification. During Electrification, energy derived from sustainable sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power will gradually replace energy generated by fossil fuels. The infrastructure needed to produce and store that energy as electricity in batteries ("Battery and Electrification Infrastructure") will require substantial amounts of certain metals. As a result, Electrification may lead to rising prices for these metals over time. The Adviser uses a proprietary multi-factor quantitative methodology to select the Metals Investments. The Fund's holdings will consist of instruments tied to industrial metals, precious metals, and rare earth metals that are used in batteries, battery charging infrastructure, and sustainable energy generation and storage infrastructure. The Fund's Metals Investments will initially include metals such as cobalt, copper, iron ore, lithium, nickel, and other metals currently used in Battery and Electrification Infrastructure.

What is ETF correlation?

Correlation is a measure of the strength of the relationship between two ETFs. It quantifies the degree to which prices of the two ETFs typically move together.

Here, correlation is measured over the past year with the Pearson correlation coefficient (Pearon’s r), which ranges from -1 to 1.

Using ETF correlations in portfolio and strategy construction

ETF correlations can help you create investing strategies and portfolios. Use them to:

  • Build a diversified portfolio from uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETFs with the aim of minimizing portfolio risk.
  • Compare correlated or related ETFs to find one with a lower expense ratio or higher trading volume.
  • Create an investing strategy that hedges an ETF with an uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETF.
