Looking for thoughts on how to invest in commodities.
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the developed world has under invested in commodity production production capacity (metals, oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, natural gas, etc.). Coupled with the fact that international trade has recently become, shall we say, problematic (Ukraine war, Chinese lockdowns, etc.), there is now a world wide scramble for commodities likely to stay in place for years since the solutions to solving these supply shortages are expensive and take lots of time to resolve - bringing on line new refining/mining/manufacturing capacity.
I would like to invest a small % of our portfolio in a commodity security focusing on near term prices, not long term futures contracts and not commodity producer stocks. Ideally the security would track the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM), which focuses on short term commodity prices.
I found the BCOM.L ETF and the DJP ETN. Reading the prospectuses there are clearly lots of risks in these securities, so again, I'm only going to invest a small % of assets into commodities.
Any opinions on these 2 securities? Any ideas on other options or where to search for additional info?
Always appreciate the collective wisdom of the ER crowd - looking forward to learning more.
