Total Return Switch to SOFR for BCOM (bloomberg Commodity Index)
The total return variants of the BCOM index family and related indices reflect the returns on a fully collateralized investment in BCOM, combining the returns of BCOM with the returns on cash collateral historically invested in 3 Month U.S. Treasury Bills (T-Bills).
After the announcement the BCOM collateral rate will switch from T-Bills to SOFR effective April 2026, we welcome you to join this webinar to provide more details on this change. Learn the new index calculation formula and how this will effect the operational aspects of BCOM.
