Created by the company in October, 2006,
the Diapason Commodities Index® Agriculture Non-GMO (“DCI®
AG NGMO”) is designed to provide a Non Genetically Modified
commodity futures index, based on contracts which trade inside
the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
This index is the first specifically Non-GMO index which investors
can easily access.
The index consists of 6 agricultural components:
Milling Wheat, Feed Wheat, Corn, and Rapeseed
- as listed on Euronext , the non-GMO Soybean future listed
on the Tokyo Grain Exchange and the Red Wheat listed on the
Minneapolis Grain Exchange.
The make-up of the DCI® AG NGMO relies
on a calculation involving two factors:
The World Trade Significance, or WTS, which
is an index based on world export-share and which contributes
33.33% of the final DCI® AG NGMO weighting, and
The World Contract Liquidity, or WCL, which
takes account of the contract value and open interest of the
individual components and constitutes the remaining 66.66%
of the DCI® AG NGMO
