Abstract

This paper analyzes the return performance of various commodity futures-based dynamic portfolios over the period from 31 January 1986 to 31 July 2023. By constructing 30 distinct portfolios categorized by style and performance, we assess their potential for enhancing the performance of traditional portfolios consisting of equity and bonds. We find that most commodity portfolios do not offer statistically significant returns, either in terms of average or risk-adjusted returns. Only the portfolios in the basis category and portfolios in the term structure category exhibit significantly positive risk-adjusted returns, indicating their potential value for portfolio enhancement. The performance of these portfolios is not different in pre-financialization and financialization periods.
