Great news for investors seeking stability and transparency in the commodities market! Following its annual meeting, the Rogers International Commodity Index (RICI®) Committee, led by legendary investor Jim Rogers and Beeland Interests, Inc., has announced that there will be NO adjustments to the weights or components of the RICI for the upcoming period.
This decision, made on January 30, 2026, from Singapore, isn’t just a simple announcement; it’s a reaffirmation of the core principles upon which the RICI was founded. The RICI was designed with the explicit understanding that for the sake of clarity, consistency, and stability, its composition changes should be infrequent. This commitment to a steady, predictable structure is a cornerstone of its appeal to investors worldwide.
For those unfamiliar, the RICI is a comprehensive “basket” of 38 globally traded commodity futures contracts. It spans the entire spectrum of the global economy, from essential agricultural products and vital energy resources to crucial metals and minerals. Its robust design makes it a widely recognized and utilized benchmark by many investment banks and astute investors across the globe.
The RICI itself was meticulously crafted in 1997 and 1998 by Jim Rogers, a staunch advocate for commodities-based investing. As the CEO of Beeland Interests, Inc., the owner of the Index, Jim Rogers continues to chair the RICI Committee, which is responsible for determining the Index components and their weights.
