iPath S&P GSCI Total Return Index ETNGSP Fund Description
GSP tracks a broad index of commodities futures contracts weighted according to global production.
GSP Factset Analytics Insight
GSP is the best of three ETPs on the market that track the S&P GSCI. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best broad-based commodities product: Like the GSCI, it uses front-month futures contracts for exposure to its target commodities, making it especially sensitive to the forces of contango. Also like the GSCI, it has heavy exposure to energy (over 70%), and WTI crude and Brent crude oil in particular (almost 50%). However, if a plain-vanilla, production-weighted index of commodities is what you're looking for, it's hard to beat GSP. The only dark mark here is liquidity: Unlike some of its brethren that trade many millions of dollars on most days, GSP has a median daily volume of about $2M, with fairly wide spreads.
