Lets pretend you have1k to invest or £50 per month how on earth are you going to to buy all those indexes/etf'c/Etc's economically.I am yet to find an UK broker who deals in the GDX, HUI index.
Surely the MFM presents an alternative means of accessing these indexes?.....one to watch maybe

Sorry - I thought you meant there was no way to invest in Jim Roger's RICI except through this fund.

As far as GDX and HUI go they seem to be backed by mining companies which I consider a separate asset class to ETFs backed by commodity futures. When I start my next ISA allowance I'll be using JPM's Natural Resource fund for that.

I agree that direct ETF investment is uneconomical at £50/month and this fund could be good alternative to get exposure to commodity futures. But like I say - hopefully proper commodity pools will be accessible to retail investors in the future.
