iShares VI plc (the "Company")
iShares Diversified Commodity Swap UCITS ETF (the "Fund")
ISIN: IE00BDFL4P12

 

 

2 June 2026

 

The Directors of the Company wish to advise shareholders of an index provider-led change that will be made to the manner in which the Fund gains exposure to the Bloomberg Commodity Index (the "Index"). The unfunded total return swaps which the Fund uses to deliver a return reflecting the Index will switch from using the 3-Month US Treasury Bill ("T-Bill") to using the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the basis for calculating returns on cash collateral.

 

Following the close of a public consultation conducted by Bloomberg Index Services Limited ("BISL"), BISL has decided to implement the change to the rate which it receives in exchange for the performance of the Index so as to more closely align the return on the collateral with the actual returns received.

 

The changes outlined above are expected to take effect on or around 16 June 2026 (the "Effective Date").

 

A new version of the Company's prospectus will be published on or around the Effective Date.

 

An electronic copy of the full shareholder letter shall be made available shortly for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism  and available to download from the iShares website www.ishares.com
