Jim Rogers International Commodities Index See Also: Commodity Funds Comparison of Rogers Raw Materials Fund, Pimco Commodity Real Return Fund, and Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund The Rogers International Commodity Index represents the value of a compendium
(or "basket") of commodities employed in the global economy, ranging from
agricultural products (such as wheat, corn and cotton) and energy products
(including crude oil, gasoline and natural gas) to metals and minerals
(including gold, silver, aluminum and lead). As of July 31, 1998, there were
thirty-five different contracts represented in the Rogers International
Commodity Index. The value of each Rogers International Commodity Index
component is based on monthly closing prices of the corresponding futures and/or
forward contracts, each of which is valued as part of a fixed-weight portfolio.
Near month contracts on international commodity markets are employed to the
extent possible. The Rogers International Commodity Index selection and
weighting of the portfolio is reviewed not less than annually, and weights are
assigned in the December preceding the start of each new year.
