What Does Commodity Pool Mean?
A fund that collects investor contributions for use in futures and commodity option trading.

Commodity pools are similar to mutual funds because by pooling their assets, investors are able to make trades that they could not make on their own. Commodity pools also limit investors' risk to the amount they have contributed into the fund.
