JJU Factset Analytics Insight

JJU tracks an index of aluminum futures that rolls into new contracts every other month. The methodology weights the contracts by liquidity (2/3) and US dollar-weighted production (1/3). Contracts are tracked starting two months from maturity and held until shortly before expiration, which differs from a front-month strategy. Investors avoid a K-1 at tax time due to the ETN wrapper, but also accept some counterparty risk from the issuer, Barclays. JJU replaced an older ETN with the same ticker. The newer, series B note tracks the same index and avoids path dependency issues that. It also includes a call provision. The new version traded under the ticker JJUB until Nov. 16, 2018.

JJU Tenor Strategy

JJU invests solely in second-month futures contracts. This means that the fund will be particularly sensitive to changes in spot prices, but may be priced higher or lower than spot, sometimes dramatically.

JJU Rolling Strategy

JJU rolls contracts over an annually pre-determined 5 day period each month.
