I recently inquired about Rogers' commodity fund. My e-mail was forwarded to a selling agent who provided the following information: Jim Rogers forwarded your request for information on his commodity index funds, which are organized as limited partnerships, not traded on exchanges. You need to obtain an offering document from a selling agent such as myself. Jim’s management company, Beeland Management (he is majority owner), organizes and runs the funds. There is a publicly registered commodity fund called the, Rogers International Raw Materials Fund, L.P. This has an investment minimum of $10,000 but is closed to new investment, at the moment. Beeland also offers a private placement fund called the, Rogers Raw Materials Fund, L.P. This has an investment minimum of $500,000 and is open to new investment. This is for Qualified Eligible Participants (QEP investors). There are several suitability tests for a QEP investor. First you must be an accredited investor ($1 million net worth or $200,000 in annual income). Second, you must own either $2 million in securities, or have $200,000 in a commodity futures account, or a combination of those ($1 million in a securities account and $100,000 in a commodity futures account). Alternatively, if you would be interested in receiving the prospectus for the public fund when it is re-open (I expect in about 8 weeks), please send me your address (and telephone number if you would like a follow up call). Suitability requirements are not as stringent with the public fund. I will send the prospectus when the fund re-opens to new investment. The Rogers Funds are passive, unleveraged, long only commodity funds that are designed to track the Rogers International Commodity Index “RICI.” They are true index funds focusing just in raw materials. You can find more on how the RICI works at Beeland’s website www.rogersrawmaterials.com.
