Rice · CoffeeRubberGrainsMost investors hold commodities through futures. Their return has three parts — understanding them is the key to investing well.
The change in the price of the commodity itself: supply, demand, inventories and cost curves.
Gained or lost when an expiring futures contract is replaced by the next one — positive in backwardation, negative in contango.
The interest earned on the cash that backs the futures position.
From one trade to a diversified portfolio: choose the exposure that fits your goals, horizon and risk.
Rule-based commodity indexes measure the market and serve as benchmarks — like the NXW Gold Plus index, rebalanced monthly.
Exposure to a commodity or a basket with a single trade, without handling futures.
Direct exposure, hedging and income strategies — with leverage and the roll to manage.
Producers, miners and agribusiness companies listed in Vietnam, Asia and worldwide.
Gold bars, storage and farmland: owning the real thing.
Diversification and inflation protection — sized carefully, because commodities are volatile.
