Commodity market in perspective
- Growth has been phenomenal, but instruments are limited
- Current structure provides instruments for :
•Trading
•Hedging/ Price Risk Management
•Jobbing
•Speculation
•Cash Future Arbitrage
•No investment product available for retail and long term investors like equity( Free from daily MTM and roll over at the time of maturity) - Mass participation of retail investors in commodities is still absent, because of :
•Futures contracts: High Risk, Leveraged Product
•Investment in Physical Commodities: Complexity, absence of smooth exit, VAT compliance, Good for commodity traders only
•ETF: High cost of trade and holding due to AMC charges
