Date of publication:
June 2024
Date of last update:June 2024(a) the date of publicationof the statement and,
where applicable, thedate of its last update;(b) where available, theinternational securities
identification number(ISIN) of the benchmark or
benchmarks; alternatively,
for a family ofbenchmarks, thestatement may provide
details of where the ISINs
are publicly accessible
free of charge;

BISL does not assign ISINs to all of the Indices.

(c) whether thebenchmark, or any
benchmark in the family ofbenchmarks, isdetermined using
contributions of input
data;

The Indices do not utilize contributions of input data.

(d) whether thebenchmark or any
benchmark in the family ofbenchmarks qualifies as
one of the types ofbenchmarks listed under
Title III of Regulation (EU)2016/1011, including thespecific provision by virtueof which the benchmark
qualifies as that type.

None of the Indices are ‘regulated-data benchmarks’, ‘interest rate benchmarks’or ‘commodity benchmarks’ as those terms are defined in the BMR. In addition,none of the Indices are ‘critical benchmarks’ or ‘significant benchmarks’ as thoseterms are defined in the BMR. All of the Indices would be deemed ‘nonsignificant’.

Users should be aware that ISINs may have been obtained on the Indices by
third parties and, in doing so, such third parties may have supplied inaccurate
or incomplete information with regard to the underlying Index or may haveobtained multiple ISINs for the same Index. Users should contact BISL if they
have questions regarding the proper identification of its Indices.
BISL does assign a unique Financial Instrument Global Identifier (“FIGI”) to its
Indices. FIGIs may be found at https://openfigi.com/ by searching for the
relevant Index within the family.

potential users of thebenchmark to understand therelevant features of themarket or economic reality,
including at least thefollowing elements insofar as
reliable data on theseelements is available:(i) information on actual or
potential participants inthe market;

A Bloomberg Professional Services offering

Market or economic reality measured by the benchmark family:
BCOM provides broad-based exposure to commodities. The indices use aconsistent, systematic process to represent the commodity markets. BCOM uses
both liquidity data and U.S. -dollar-weighted production data in determining therelative quantities of included commodities. The explicit inclusion of liquidity asa weighting factor helps to ensure that BCOM can accommodate substantial
investment flows. The Indices are composed of exchange-traded commodity
futures contracts. As a result, these Indices are investable benchmarks. Futurescontracts are never taken to delivery, and are instead rolled forward per theindex methodology.
Disproportionate weighting of any particular commodity or sector increases
volatility and negates the concept of a broad-based commodity index. Insteadof diversified commodities exposure, the investor is unduly subjected to microeconomic shocks in one commodity or sector.
BCOM is intended to provide a stable benchmark so that end-users may bereasonably confident that historical performance data (including such diverse
measures as correlation, spot yield, roll yield and volatility) is based on a
structure that bears some resemblance to both the current and futurecomposition of the Index.

The base Bloomberg Commodity Index methodology is available here.

Further breakdowns of sub-indices and associated fact sheets may be foundhere or by entering INP <GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal® and selecting“Fact Sheets”.
Participants in the commodity futures market include commercial and/or
institutional commodities producers or commodity consumers (such as
manufacturers) who trade futures as a hedge to maximize the value of theircore assets, and to reduce the risk of financial losses from commodity pricemovements, while other participants are commodity speculators and otherinvestors who aim to profit from such movements.

(ii) an indication of the sizeof the market or economic
reality.

In defining the potential
limitations of the benchmark
and the circumstances inwhich the measurement of
the market or economic
reality may become
unreliable, the benchmark
statement shall include atleast:(a) a description of thecircumstances in which theadministrator would lacksufficient input data to
determine the benchmark inaccordance with themethodology;(b) where relevant, adescription of instances when
the accuracy and reliability ofthe methodology used for
determining the benchmark
can no longer be ensured,
such as when theadministrator deems theliquidity in the underlying
market as insufficient;(c) any other information thatthe administrator reasonably
considers to be relevant or
useful to help users andpotential users to understandthe circumstances in which
the measurement of themarket or economic reality
may become unreliable,
including a description ofwhat might constitute an
exceptional market event.

Benchmark limitations:Though the Indices are designed to be representative of the markets theymeasure or otherwise align with their stated objective, they may not be
representative in every case or achieve their stated objective in all instances.
They are designed and calculated strictly to follow the rules of the methodology,
and any Index Level or other output is limited in its usefulness to such designand calculation.
Markets can be volatile, including those commodity market interests which the
Indices intend to measure or upon which the Indices are dependent in order toachieve their stated objective. For example, trading in futures contracts on
physical commodities, including trading in the Index components, is speculativeand can be extremely volatile. Market prices of the Index components and theunderlying physical commodities may fluctuate rapidly based on numerous
factors, including changes in supply and demand relationships (whether actual,
perceived, anticipated, unanticipated or unrealized); weather; agriculture;trade; fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs; domestic and foreign
political and economic events and policies; disease; pestilence; technologicaldevelopments; changes in interest rates, whether through government action
or market movements; and monetary and other government policies, action andinaction.
The current or “spot” prices of the underlying physical commodities may also
affect, in a volatile and inconsistent manner, the prices of futures contracts in
respect to the relevant commodity. These factors may affect the value of the
Indices in varying ways, and different factors may cause the prices of the Index
components, and the volatilities of their prices, to move in inconsistent
directions at inconsistent rates.
In addition, market trends and changes to market structure may render theobjective of the Index unachievable or to become impractical to replicate byinvestors.
Other than as set forth in the methodology for the Indices available here, there
are no minimum liquidity requirements for Index constituents and/or minimum
requirements or standards for the quantity or quality of the input data.

The benchmark statement
shall lay down technicalspecifications that clearly andunambiguously identify theelements of the calculation of
the benchmark in relation towhich discretion may be
exercised, the criteria
applicable to the exercise ofsuch discretion and theposition of the persons thatcan exercise discretion, andhow such discretion may besubsequently evaluated.
[BMR 27(1)(b)]In specifying the controls andrules that govern any exerciseof judgement or discretion by
the administrator or any
contributors in calculating thebenchmark or benchmarks,
the benchmark statement
shall include an outline ofeach step of the process forany ex post evaluation of theuse of discretion, together
with a clear indication of theposition of any person(s)responsible for carrying out
the evaluations.
[RTS 1(4)]A Bloomberg Professional Services offering

The Indices are rules-based (methodology available here), and theirconstruction is designed to consistently produce values without the exercise ofexpert judgment or discretion under the standard methodology, in day-to-day
index calculation. Nevertheless, BISL product owners may use expert judgment
or discretion in certain limited circumstances, with regards to the following:

Extraordinary circumstances during a market emergency
Interruptions, issues, and closures of data including input or non-input(e.g., Volume) data

Discretion refers to the right of BISL to make a determination in calculating a
Benchmark with respect to its methodology. Expert judgement refers to theexercise of discretion with respect to the use of Input Data. Instances of
discretion or expert judgement may include BISL making a decision to modify,
derive or substitute input or non-input (e.g. Volume) data points according towhat it considers suitable in a particular situation, in order to maintain Index
constituents as set out in the methodology and ensure the index accurately
represents the objective of the index as best as possible.
Discretion may be applied to (but not limited to) areas of index construction andmay include actions such as:•
Delaying or estimating the value of input or non-input data•
Adjusting the benchmark methodology•
Excluding or amending a constituent, input or non-input data
When expert judgment or discretion is required, BISL undertakes to beconsistent in its application. BISL also maintains and enforces a conflicts ofinterest framework to prevent conflicts of interest from inappropriately
influencing index construction, production, and distribution, including the useof expert judgment or discretion.
In certain circumstances exercises of expert judgment or discretion are
reviewed by senior members of BISL management and Bloomberg Complianceteams, and are reported to the Product, Risk & Oversight Committee (PROC),BISL’s governance committee, which operates under the supervision of BISL’s
oversight function, the Benchmark Oversight Committee (BOC).
See the section titled “Expert Judgment and Discretion” in the BISL Benchmark
Procedures Handbook.

A benchmark statement shallcontain at least the rationale
for adopting the benchmark
methodology and proceduresfor the review and approval ofthe methodology.
[BMR27(2)(b)]In specifying the procedures
for review of themethodology, the benchmark
statement shall at least outline
the procedures for public
consultation on any materialchanges to the methodology.

The methodology approach incorporates a ruled-based calculation that does
not require the exercise of discretion in its daily calculation process. Additionally,
the methodology is subject to strict input data eligibility requirements to ensure
its replicability and resilience.
For further detail on the procedures for the review and approval of
methodologies, the procedures for public consultation on materials changes
and the process for cessation, see the Benchmark and Methodology Launch &Changes and Cessation Policy sections of the BISL Benchmark Procedures

Commodities have been selected that are believed to be both sufficiently
significant to the world economy to merit consideration and that are tradable
through a qualifying related futures contract. With the exception of several

models or methods ofextrapolation and any
procedure for rebalancing theconstituents of a benchmark's
index.
[BMR 27(2)(c)]A Bloomberg Professional Services offering

Gas Oil, each of the Commodities is the subject of at least one futures contractthat trades on a U.S. exchange. For greater detail regarding the list ofcommodities eligible for inclusion of the Index, please refer to the publiclyavailable methodology for the Indices available here.
Rebalancing
BCOM is rebalanced annually on a price-percentage basis to maintain
diversified commodities exposure over time.
The composition of the Index is rebalanced by BISL each year pursuant to theprocedures set forth in the methodology by index managers operating within
the PROC (defined below) governance body under the oversight of the BOC(defined below) oversight function. Any material deviations or changes fromestablished procedures are subject to review by such bodies. In addition, to theextent practicable, BISL may solicit stakeholder feedback, including by means of
the Index Advisory Council. Once approved, the new composition of the Index
is publicly announced and takes effect in the month of January immediately
following the announcement.
The first step in constructing BCOM is to determine the relative liquidity andproduction percentages. The Commodity Liquidity Percentage (“CLP”) for eachfutures contract (a “Designated Contract”) selected as a reference contract forcommodity designated for potential inclusion in the Index (collectively,“Commodities”) is determined by taking a five-year average of the product oftrading volume and the historic U.S. dollar value of such futures contract anddividing the result by the sum of such products for all Designated Contracts. The
Commodity Production Percentage (“CPP”) is also determined for eachCommodity by taking a five-year average of production figures, adjusted by thehistoric U.S. dollar value of the applicable Designated Contract, and dividing theresult by the sum of such products for all Commodities.
The Commodity Liquidity Percentage and the Commodity Production
Percentage are then combined (using a ratio of 2:1) to establish the Commodity
Index Percentage (“CIP”) for each Commodity. This Commodity Index
Percentage is then adjusted in accordance with the diversification rules
described further in the methodology to determine the Commodities that will
be included in the Index (“Index Commodities”) and their respective percentage
weights.
On the fourth Business Day of the month of January (the “CIM Determination
Date”) following the calculation of the CIPs, the CIPs are combined with theSettlement Prices of all Designated Contracts for such day to create theCommodity Index Multiplier (“CIM”) for each Designated Contract. The
Commodity Index Multipliers remain in effect throughout the ensuing year.
Once the CIMs are determined, the calculation of BCOM is an arithmetic process
whereby the CIMs for the Index Commodities are multiplied by the respective
prices in U.S. dollars for the applicable Designated Contracts. The products arethen summed. The daily percentage change in this sum is then applied to theprior day’s BCOM value to calculate the then-current BCOM value. The value ofthe Index is computed on the basis of hypothetical investments in the basket ofcommodities that make up the Index.

To the extent a material error in index values is uncovered following publicationand dissemination, a notification will be sent to index owners alerting them ofsuch error and the expected date of a revised publication, if warranted.
BISL considers the following factors to determine whether to restate. Not allconditions need to be present to warrant a restatement, and certain factors may
be more determinative that others depending on the circumstances of the given
error. For example:•
The relative importance of the data field impacted by the error;•
Consideration of impact to end investor and/or clients’ non-financial
objectives;•
When the error occurred and when it was discovered;•
The number of indices and sub-indices affected;•
Whether the impacted indices are linked to tradable products;•
The magnitude of the error;•
The burden of restatement on client re-processing relative to theimpact of the error; and•The impact of the restatement on analytical tools.
