TRAKRS ROGERS 
 

Rogers TRAKRS futures are non-traditional futures contracts that provide a cost-effective way to invest in the underlying basket of commodities tracked by the Rogers International Commodity Index. They also enable you to:

  • Potentially reduce overall volatility
  • Potentially provide opportunity for profit, assuming the continued growth of the global economy and that such growth translates into higher prices for those commodities

Things to know:

  • The Rogers International Commodity Index
    • Is broad-based and includes commodities from around the globe, ranging from agricultural products (such as wheat, corn and cotton), to energy products (including crude oil, gasoline and natural gas), to metals and minerals (including gold, silver, aluminum and lead)
    • Was developed by Jim Rogers to be an effective measure of the price action of raw materials on a worldwide basis.
  • The broad-based representation of commodities contracts is intended to provide two important characteristics:
    • The large number of contracts and underlying raw materials represents diversification
    • Global coverage of those contracts reflects the current state of international trade and commerce

    • Rogers has been featured frequently in Time, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Barron's, Forbes, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, and most publications dealing with the economy or finance.
