A lot of variety is available for Commodities ETFs because commodities may span across metals, energy, agriculture and livestock, or a combination of those. Few commodities ETF are focused on specific sectors, like metal or agriculture products, or may be generic which can include any and all kinds of commodities. One should also check the type of financial securities these commodities ETFs invest in. A few commodities ETFs may invest the capital into listed stocks belonging to the commodity companies, while others may play around in a defined and systematic manner in the derivatives space, like futures and options. Another variety may follow a passive strategy and simply invest in stocks that belong to a particular commodity index, or they may actually hold the physical commodity like wheat, oil, corn or oranges. Additionally, a big variety exists in terms of leveraged ETFs which attempt to magnify the returns by a factor (like 2x or 3x), there are inverse ETFs belonging to the commodities sector which attempt to generate returns which are inverse of the returns generated by the benchmark index (-1x), and there are a few that offer a combination of leveraged and inverse Commodities ETF (like -3x returns.)
