Harbor Capital Advisors expanded its commodity lineup recently with the launch of the Harbor Active Commodity ETF (NYSE:ACOM), an actively managed fund designed to capitalize on inflation-sensitive commodity markets while minimizing the costs associated with futures exposure. The fund, which began trading on Tuesday, focuses on commodities and sectors with strong supply-demand fundamentals and physical scarcity.
The launch comes as active commodity strategies continue to attract investor attention amid heightened volatility across energy, metals, and agricultural markets. Harbor’s new offering builds on the success of the Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF (NYSE:HGER), which has gained $1.4 billion in inflows this year and returned 21% year to date. The firm said ACOM is designed to respond dynamically to changing market conditions, particularly during periods of elevated inflation and commodity price swings driven by geopolitical tensions, weather disruptions, and shifting demand patterns.
Key features of Harbor Active Commodity ETF (ACOM):
Expense ratio: 93 basis points
Actively managed commodity strategy focused on high expected inflation and low cost of carry
