Teucrium Debuts New Agriculture ETF

Michael Johnston submits:Teucrium Trading LLC, the Brattleboro, Vermont-based firm that launched the first pure play corn ETF (CORN) earlier this month, has now filed for SEC approval on a slew of single-commodity funds offering exposure to everything from crude oil to soybeans. The five proposed products include:

By Tom Lydon: Teucrium Trading, the manager behind the corn exchange traded fund, has launched the first ETF to track the prices of soybeans. The firm has also listed ETFs for sugar and wheat in the face of a tough market for agriculture ETFs in recent weeks. PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund (DBA) is down about 4% over the past month.

By Tom Lydon: Teucrium Trading on Wednesday launched an exchange traded fund focused on the agriculture sector. It will offer commodities exposure in one single fund of ETFs. The new fund will give investors exposure to four core agricultural commodities, sans futures contracts.The ETF will invest in corn, soybeans, wheat and sugar.

By Ron Rowland:Teucrium, the company that brought you the Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN) last year, introduced three new single agricultural commodity exchange-traded products earlier this week.

Michael Johnston submits:As natural resource prices have climbed skyward, interest in exchange-traded products that offer exposure to commodities has accelerated as well.

By Hard Assets Investor: Issuer of CORN ETF says investors can take advantage of seasonal price declines at peak harvest time in Northern Hemisphere.

Michael Johnston submits:Teucrium, the issuer behind the only pure play corn ETF on the market, has doubled the size of its ETF lineup with the introduction of the Teucrium Natural Gas Fund (NAGS). The new fund will offer investors another option for gaining exposure to natural gas futures contracts through the exchange-traded structure.

Michael Johnston submits:The tremendous surge in ETF assets in recent years has been attributable not to equity funds, but rather to products offering exposure to other asset classes. The number of exchange-traded commodity products has surged, enabling investors to establish exposure to everything from copper to sugar through the exchange-traded structure. Another big growth area has focused around fixed income funds, as investors have become more comfortable with the idea of accessing bonds through ETFs.
