Amundi Bloomberg Equal-weight Commodity ex-Agriculture UCITS ETF Acc (LYTR.DE) is a UCITS-compliant exchange-traded fund that tracks the Bloomberg Energy and Metals Equal Weighted Total Return Index, providing investors with equally weighted exposure to 12 commodities in the energy, precious metals, and industrial metals sectors via futures contracts; it employs synthetic replication and follows an accumulating distribution policy with no currency hedging. Issued and managed by Amundi Asset Management S.A.S., a subsidiary of Amundi S.A., the ETF offers long-only commodity investment strategies targeting institutional and retail investors seeking diversified commodity exposure excluding agriculture. Domiciled in Luxembourg with listings on major European exchanges including Xetra (Germany), the fund maintains a total expense ratio of 0.30% and manages approximately EUR 1,098 million in assets.
Amundi S.A., founded in 2010 through the merger of Crédit Agricole Asset Management and Société Générale Asset Management and headquartered at 90 Boulevard Pasteur in Paris, France, operates as Europe's largest asset manager with over EUR 2 trillion in assets under management across active and passive strategies, including a broad range of ETFs in equities, fixed income, multi-asset, and commodities. The issuer provides extensive ETF solutions under the Amundi ETF brand, serving retail clients through banking networks, institutional investors, corporates, and third-party distributors globally in more than 30 countries.
In a major strategic reorganization completed in early 2023 following Amundi's EUR 825 million acquisition of Lyxor Asset Management from Société Générale in December 2021, the ETF resulted from the merger of three Lyxor commodity UCITS ETFs: Lyxor Commodities Refinitiv/CoreCommodity CRB EX-Energy TR UCITS ETF (CRN), Lyxor Bloomberg Equal-weight Commodity ex-Agriculture UCITS ETF (ETF090), and Lyxor Commodities Refinitiv/CoreCommodity CRB TR UCITS ETF (CRB), consolidating roughly EUR 2 billion in assets under the new Amundi branding. This merger reduced the TER from 0.35% to 0.30%, shifted the benchmark from the Refinitiv/CoreCommodity CRB Total Return Index to the Bloomberg index for enhanced focus on energy and metals, and aimed to achieve economies of scale while maintaining exposure to the target asset class. No further significant mergers, acquisitions, or product launches specific to this ETF have been reported through 2025.
