ⓘ Methodology

Peer composites equal-weight the group's share-class representatives' daily returns, including delisted members' alive-era history via the frozen year-end snapshots — though our coverage of closed funds is partial, so composite levels at older dates may run slightly high. Membership is the latest known — style migrators carry their full history. ETF performance based on market prices. Drag on chart to select period. Sharpe Ratio uses the one-month T-bill as the risk-free rate. From 10/7/2025 to 10/7/2026.

ⓘ Methodology

ETF performance based on market prices. Global Dev factor set. Daily OLS of excess return (fund − T-bill) on factor spread returns over the selected date range, intersected with each series' history. Bold with * |t| ≥ 1.96, ** |t| ≥ 2.58. Cell shading tracks each loading's t-stat. Betas are returns-based — compare with the holdings-based factor scores below. Factor returns are long-short spread returns (© Ken French, Dartmouth). Fama-French publishes daily factors for developed markets only, so Dev Ex-US is developed markets excluding the US and Global Dev is developed markets including it; emerging markets, a small share of world market capitalization, are not covered by the source data. From 10/7/2025 to 8/31/2026.

ⓘ Methodology

Every figure on this card is an equal-weight aggregate over the composite's share-class-deduped members: the median across the members reporting each field, blank where too few of them do. Three rows depart from that, because a median of them would say nothing: Inception is the group's OLDEST member — where its combined history can start; 3Y Flow is the group's own net flow over its own assets, not the middle member's rate; and Type, Asset Class and Region are compositions by member count. Holdings is the merged look-through book — distinct positions across the members' holdings.

Not scored — PEER:Commodities - Metals’s holdings don’t clear the coverage floor for composite factor scores.

ⓘ Methodology

The funds this composite is made of, each counting once (100 ÷ 10 — the same equal weighting behind its returns and its median exposures), listed largest first by assets. Tick Look-Through to expand them into the stocks they hold. Holdings Concentration beside this card always describes that looked-through book, not this list — it is a statement about exposure, not about the roster. Stock-level data as of 8/31/2026.

ⓘ Methodology

Commodities - Metals Composite is a Sparkline peer composite — its members are the share-class representatives of the funds in the group (one class per fund: the exchange-listed class where the SEC series has one, else its longest-history class). This card ranks it against its asset class, Commodities, which is the only pool a composite has: there is no peer group of peer groups, and the region tier is a fund-level grouping. Typical Member rows are medians across those representatives — the value is the group’s median, and the percentile is the median of the members’ own ranks within Commodities, so both describe the middle fund rather than the group as a whole. Quartile chips fill the layer the rank falls in (top layer = best quartile). A dash is a window the group is younger than, or one too few Commodities funds have a history for to rank against — hover it for which.
