The Timber Trade: A New Commodity Pool Fund Idea

<>

Given the low correlation of timber to other asset classes and two existing company-based ETFs, investors may be interested in a new idea for a commodity pool fund which tracks the global price of lumber and wood pulp. A new commodity pool fund could be structured as follows to trade near-month futures contracts (or the closest available month to the near-month) for lumber (Lumber futures will account for 67 – 75% of the portfolio based on higher average trading volumes than pulp) and wood pulp (Wood Pulp future< />< />< />< />< />< />...
