HARD

Commodities are a terrific way to hedge portfolios against strong inflation, but long-only commodity investments are challenging to hold over strategic horizons given their prevalence for extended periods of underperformance. The Simplify Commodities Strategy No K-1 ETF (HARD) seeks long term capital appreciation by systematically investing in commodity futures in an attempt to create commodity exposure that performs strongly during inflationary periods while still performing well in more typical market environments. To this end, HARD deploys a suite of systematic long/short (l/s) models that have been designed by Altis Partners, a commodity trading advisor with over 20 years of experience.
