Correlation measures the strength of the relationship between the respective performances of two asset classes. Investing in an asset class that has a low correlation to the other investments in your portfolio enhances diversification.

returns against inflation
returns against inflation
Inflation may negatively affect the real returns of your portfolio. Also, equity and fixed income instruments tend to perform poorly during periods of high inflation. Commodity prices, in contrast, tend to move in tandem with rising inflation. Therefore, adding commodity exposure to a portfolio may hedge some of its inflation risk.

Ease of Access: investors may gain easier access to the commodity markets without having to enter into the futures market.
Diversification: diversified indices represent a varied basket of commodities that rebalance periodically to maintain broadly consistent exposure to specified commodities or sectors over time.
Lower index tracking error
Tracking error arises when the return of an investment is different from the return of the index it is intended to track. ETNs may have less tracking error compared to ETFs and index mutual funds.
ETNs provide efficient access
ETFs and index mutual funds may be subject to restrictions in their investments. ETNs are not bound by all of the same restrictions and offer investors more efficient access to market sectors and investment strategies that may be otherwise difficult to reach.

ETNs are bought and sold in the secondary market and can be traded through most standard brokerage accounts.
