With the inventories  of most agricultural commodities near historically low levels and  weather events hitting supply in key producing countries, agriculture  prices have been on a strong uptrend since last year.   More recently,  political and social upheaval in North Africa and the Middle East has  driven oil prices higher.  Investors appear to be using commodity ETPs  as a way to hedge against further price increases.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Commenting, Nicholas Brooks, Head of Research and Investment Strategy at ETF Securities, said:<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDuring the first quarter of 2011, diversified broad  commodity ETPs accounted for over half of the increase seen in commodity  ETP AUM globally. Strong demand for diversified exposure to commodities  appears to be being driven by investor demand not just for portfolio  diversification, but also for plays on emerging market growth without  taking on the political and equity-specific risks that come with  investing in emerging markets equities.  A number of investors are also  using commodity ETPs as a direct way to hedge their portfolios against  sharply rising food and energy price inflation.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary of ETF Securities\u2019 All Commodities Funds Vs MSCI World<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"physicalTable\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"1\">\n<tbody style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<tr style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"tableheading\">\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"20%\"><center> <\/center><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"20%\"><center>Performance over one month*<\/center><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"20%\"><center>Performance over Q1 2011*<\/center><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"20%\"><center>Fund and trading currency<\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">ETFX DJ-UBS All Commodities Forward 3 Month Fund (COMF)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">2.3%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">6.6%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">29.0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">ETFS Forward All Commodities DJ-UBSCI-F3 (FAIG)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">2.2%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">6.5%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">30.1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">ETFS All Commodities DJ-UBSCI (AIGC)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">1.9%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">4.0%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">26.1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">MSCI World TR Index<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">-0.9%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">4.2%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">12.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>*Data to 31st March 2011.
