The RICI® ENHANCED^SM AGRICULTURE INDEX ZERO CERT™ offers investors cost-efficient investment exposure to the soft commodities boom – propelled by surging demand from both the developed world and emerging economies such as China and India.

Its underlying, the RICI® (Rogers International Commodity Index®) Enhanced^SM Agriculture Index Excess Return, tracks the performance of the agricultural segment of the RICI®. It consists of 21 agricultural commodities consumed in the global economy that include wheat, corn and cotton. The RICI® Enhanced^SM Index Excess Return is an improved version over other benchmark commodity indices where commodity futures are rolled over across the board on a monthly basis. In contrast, an individual rollover calendar is created for each commodity listed on the RICI® Enhanced^SM Index, based on all commodity futures contracts available on the relevant commodity with their specific maturity dates. These contracts are then filtered according to seasonality patterns or cycles. This method aims to increase the returns of the index over other benchmark commodity indices.

INVESTOR BENEFITS

A confluence of supply and demand factors is pushing the prices of agricultural products or soft commodities to all time highs. The RICI® ENHANCED^SM AGRICULTURAL INDEX ZERO CERT™ allows investors to reap gains from the current commodities bull cycle that is also benefiting from a growing demand for bio-fuel production.
