Bloomberg Expands Commodity Indices to Enhance Diversification for Investors
On November 19, 2025, Bloomberg announced a significant expansion of its commodity index offerings. The launch features two new thematic basket indices: the Bloomberg Commodity Carbon Tilted, Transition Metals, Gold Index (Ticker BCOMCTG) and the Bloomberg Commodity Global Oil Gas Liquidity-Weighted Index (Ticker GCOMOGL). These indices are designed to help investors navigate the evolving landscape of global commodities markets, presenting new opportunities for diversification.
Bloomberg's initiative responds to the growing interest among investors in aligning their portfolios with forward-looking themes such as energy transition, decarbonization, and infrastructure development. Jigna Gibb, head of Commodities and Crypto Index Products at Bloomberg, emphasized the importance of adapting to the current investment environment where commodities serve as essential tools for diversification and inflation hedging, while also addressing the structural shifts determined by societal and environmental factors.
The Bloomberg Commodity Carbon Tilted, Transition Metals, Gold Index complements Fideuram's fresh offering, the D-X Diversified Commodities and Strategic Metals UCITS ETF (DXDC). This index was purposefully designed to provide a balanced risk-return profile similar to the flagship Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM), while integrating components that prioritize lower greenhouse gas emissions. The diversified portfolio tracks the performance of three key Bloomberg indices, which were strategically selected based on global shifts towards carbon tilts and energy transition.
Renato Zaffuto from Fideuram noted their excitement in collaborating with Bloomberg on this custom index that aligns with specific product strategy goals. He pointed out that in a world characterized by macroeconomic uncertainty and shifting global supply chains, investing in tangible assets like commodities has become increasingly strategic. The ongoing Commodity Supercycle 3.0 emphasizes that these assets will play a crucial role in the digital economy.
Meanwhile, the Bloomberg Commodity Oil Gas Liquidity-Weighted Index offers dynamic exposure to the oil and gas sector, employing a liquidity-weighted methodology to adapt to structural changes in the energy market. This was outlined in a comprehensive report by Bloomberg's Index Research Team titled, “Powering the Future: A Modern Benchmark for a Multi-Polar World.” The index design reflects significant transformations within global energy markets, marked by the US shale revolution, Europe's pivotal role in liquefied natural gas distribution, and Asia's surge as a center for demand growth.
These new indices are a testament to Bloomberg's ongoing commitment to addressing emerging macroeconomic and sustainable investment themes while providing transparent, rules-based tools. They continue to build upon the Bloomberg Global Commodity Transition Metals Index (GCOMTM), which was launched earlier this year. Investors can access these innovative products directly through the Bloomberg Terminal using {BCOMCTG Index } and {GCOMOGL Index }. A dedicated documentation page on the Bloomberg Indices platform provides comprehensive research and methodology supporting these indices.
