How to Invest in Commodities?
If you want to include commodities as part of your long-term portfolio investment, below are the 5 common methods that guide you on how to invest in commodities.
The 1st way to invest in commodities: Spot Trading
Commodities trading can be done on the spot through "spot trading" where delivery takes place within a few business days. Spot trading is not the main way in which commodities are almost always bought in large quantities, few buyers would want to take the risk of accepting whatever the spot price is at the time of purchase, and immediately delivery.
The 2nd way to invest in commodities: Futures Trading
Commodity futures trading is the most popular ways of buying and selling commodities. Instead, most commodities are traded on futures exchanges such as NYMEX and CBOT. The prices of commodities are efficiently and transparently discovered through the participation of thousands of buyers and sellers.
Commodities futures trading have two mentalities:
One may speculate by taking a position, either long (buy) or short (sell) for example, a crude oil futures contract in the hope that the crude oil would rise or fall in price respectively, and to be profited in the expected price movement direction.
OR, an investor may hedge to mitigate the risk of a natural position in the commodity. For example, a soybeans farmer can insure against a poor soybeans harvest by purchasing soybeans futures contracts. If the soybeans crop is significantly less due to bad weather, the farmer makes up for that loss with a profit in the soybeans futures contract, since the overall supply of the crop is short everywhere that suffered the same conditions.
In futures trading, investors trade directly in commodities futures and encounter high level of risk not only because of the volatility of commodity prices. It also involves sophisticated skills, correct trading methodology, and dedicated time to follow the commodities market that is dominated by large commodity trading houses and financial institutions with professional traders.
The 3rd way to invest in commodities: Commodity index funds
Invest in commodity index funds are less risky than invest directly into commodity futures trading. Therefore, for investors who are looking into diversify their portfolios without wanting to trade directly into commodity futures, commodity index funds are good alternative investment choice. Some funds specifically track commodity indices like the Dow-Jones-AIG Commodity Index, the Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index, the Goldman Sachs Commodities Index (GSCI), and the Rogers International Commodities Index (RICI).
