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.
