Rogers International Commodities Index^®

The Rogers International Commodity Index^® (the “RICI”) is a composite, U.S. dollar-based, total return index created by James Beeland Rogers, Jr. (“Rogers”) in the late 1990s. Funds were first invested to track the Index on August 1, 1998. The RICI^® was designed to meet the need for consistent investing in a broad based international vehicle; it 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.
