With central banks around the world rushing to see which one can debase its currency the fastest, we expect commodity prices to continue to rise. In fact, we believe that the new commodity bull market, which began some five years ago, has a long way to run. Unfortunately, most investors do not know the best ways to participate, and inevitably choose risky strategies often resulting in loses, even though commodity markets ultimately move in their favor. At Euro Pacific Capital, we can help guide investors though a variety of investment products specifically designed to offer non-leveraged exposure to the commodities markets. The Rogers International Commodity Index (the "RICI") remains as one of our favorite ways to track these markets. It is a composite, U.S. dollar-based, total return index that represents the value of a basket of commodities consumed in the global economy, ranging from agricultural to energy to metal products. The value of this basket is tracked via futures contracts on 36 different exchange-traded physical commodities, quoted in four currencies, listed on eleven exchanges in five countries. The RICI aims to be an effective measure of the price action of raw materials not just in the United States but also around the world. Indeed, the RICI's weightings attempt to balance consumption patterns worldwide (in developed and developing countries) and specific contract liquidity.
