THE SECRETS TO CAPITALIZING ON THE COMMODITIES BOOM

Now, it's a multibilliondollarvehicle for achieving portfolio diversification and inflation hedging--and he and his colleagues have written the book on earning better returns than the indexes themselves!In Intelligent Commodity Indexing, Bob joins his fellow leaders of PIMCO's Commodity Practice, Nic Johnson and Mihir Worah, in opening up commodity indexes.

Inside, you'll find the most up-to-date tools and time-proven best practices for earning "structural alpha" by capitalizing on recurring risk and liquidity premiums in the commoditiesmarkets. It offers the right amount of history and theory to reinforce cuttingedge techniques for:
