Futures-based investment products on commodities

When it comes to commodity investments such as crude oil, iron ore and precious metals, some people may opt for commodity stocks, while others may trade commodity futures and derivative warrant contracts. In recent years, there are more options for commodity investments in the HKEX, i.e. futures-based investment products such as futures-based ETFs and futures-based leveraged products.

Both futures-based ETFs and futures-based leveraged products may sound novel to many investors. Before you consider investing in these futures-based products, make sure you understand their features and risks.
