In plain words

A broad commodity ETF follows a basket of raw materials such as energy, metals and farm goods, mostly with futures that are rolled forward before they expire.

ETFIQ counts 22 broad funds at a median fee of 0.65%, among 68 commodity funds. Weights depend on the index: some weight by production, some by trading volume. A broad fund can differ from any one commodity’s price because of the cost of rolling futures. ETFIQ measures each against its named benchmark.

Questions

Is a broad fund safer than one commodity?

It spreads across several, so one price matters less. It still moves with the commodity market.

Why can a fund trail the spot price?

Rolling futures can add cost or gain.

How are weights set?

By the index. Some follow production, some trading volume.
