iShares® S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust (the Trust) is a statutory trust. The Trust issues units of beneficial interest (Shares) representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets. The Trust's assets consist of long positions in exchange-traded index futures contracts of various expirations, called Index Futures, on the S&P GSCI Excess Return Index, together with Collateral Assets consisting of cash, U.S. Treasury securities or other short-term securities and similar securities that are eligible as margin deposits for those Index Future positions. The Trust issues and redeems Shares in only one or more blocks of 50,000 Shares (called Baskets). The GSG stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the GSG stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2022 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the GSG annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
