These weights will be used to determine the new Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Multipliers for 2011 after the close of business on January 6, 2011. These multipliers are computed once a year in January and represent factors used to express the percentage weights in U.S. dollar-denominated terms for each commodity. The 2011 Multipliers are implemented in the calculation of the Index over five days, starting before the opening of trading on January 10, 2011. For a complete description of the Index calculations, please refer to the DJ-UBSCI Handbook, which is available for download at www.djindexes.com.
Launched in 1998, the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity index family includes nine sector sub-indexes, multiple forward month indexes, indexes for each individual commodity in the original DJ-UBSCI, Euro-, Yen-, Sterling-, and Swiss Franc-denominated versions of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index, and the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Spot Index. Also available are total return versions of each of the excess return indexes and sub-indexes. As of the end of the second quarter of 2010, an estimated $59.2 billion tracked the DJ-UBSCI group of indexes.
