Our data at AFEX points to a 4-year cycle of commodity returns where you have a period of high returns followed by three periods of moderate returns i.e., between 15 and 30 per cent with just passive investment i.e., taking a position at the beginning of the season and exiting at the peak of the season. Our fixed-income products have historically returned between 15 – 20% on average. In 2022, the Fair Trade ETC product – FETC1 – which we launched, returned 30.5%.įinally, we have fixed income products, which quite a lot of investors are used to which are essentially short-term notes issued with a fixed return amount to be redeemed at a fixed time. Yields on this product are not fixed.Īnother exciting investment product that we have are Exchange Traded Commodities, which are commodity baskets that have a mix of commodity contracts within them, and whose returns are determined by the collective performance of the commodity mix.

The spot contracts are an exciting way to earn, allowing investors to enter when the price is low, watch the market, and determine for themselves when to sell. Zara Dogo: Our spot trading products are investment products where the investor buys directly into commodities to benefit from price fluctuations in the market.
