Neuberger Berman, a private, independent, employee-owned investment manager, has launched a new UCITS commodities fund.

The Neuberger Berman Commodities Fund is run by a highly experienced New York-based senior portfolio manager Hakan Kaya, PhD, and will be supported by five others within the investment team.

Neuberger Berman has managed a diversified commodities strategy since May 2010, and Kaya has managed the Neuberger Berman Commodity Strategy in the US since inception. 

Utilising commodity-related financial derivative instruments, the fund aims to provide an attractive level of total return and capital appreciation, by seeking exposure to a broad range of commodities across various global sectors, such as energy, metals, agriculture and livestock.
