Handelsbanken Commodity Index Excess Return reflects the return on a basket of 15 different raw materials. The return on each commodity is calculated using Handelsbanken’s index of each commodity. The proportions of the raw materials are determined each year at predetermined weights. The weights vary between the rebalances depending on the yield in each raw material. All calculations of the index are in US dollars.
