“The Rogers Van Eck Hard Assets Producers Index (RVEI) gives investors a chance to ride the commodities bull by accessing a universe of producers from all over the world. Most of the index’s components are producers of raw materials for agriculture, alternative energy, base and industrial metals, energy, forest products and precious metals.”

Whats included in the new index?

“His new index is a global one made up of 39 countries, meant to truly capture the global commodities boom, because countries such as the United States and Canada aren’t the only major producers. The United States is 35.8% of the fund and Canada is 12%. Britain is 5.9%, Russia is 5.1%, China is 4.8% and Brazil is 4.1%. Another 33 countries make up the remaining 32%”

Why a new ETF?

“The inspiration for the index came from conversations Rogers continually was having with people who would tell him they couldn’t bring themselves to invest in commodities.”
