Evaluating New Investment Opportunities in the Ever-Changing Agricultural Market.

New York City, NY, March 30, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Soft and agricultural commodities are back on most investors’ radars due to the ever-strong demand for these types of commodities. Paired together are changes of food types in emerging markets, droughts and soil erosion, and the increase in biofuels production, among other issues. As a result we have seen incredible growth in returns on investments in soft and agricultural commodities which is opening new doors for investors and making them reconsider their investment portfolios.

Soft commodity prices are rising and are expected to continue the growing trend in the next several years. Large investments in biofuel capacities, rising gas prices and ever-strong ethanol production are only a few reasons why it is crucial to grasp the current trends of this sector and the impact of its growth on the entire commodities market.

Finance IQ’s Soft and Agricultural Commodities Investment Summit will gather leading experts on soft and agricultural commodities including James Moser of Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Tyler Stevens of Common fund Asset Management Company, Kevin Rich of Deutsche Bank (DB), Maximilian Tomei of INOKS Capital, John Caupert of National Corn-To-Ethanol Research Center and Mel Jones of American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) to answer the key questions regarding the strategies of investing in soft and agricultural commodities, the state of the international markets and best practices of incorporating agricultural commodities into the investment portfolio. This senior-level summit will stir discussions between key investors and decision makers from agricultural commodities traders, pension funds, endowments, charitable trusts, wealth management firms, hedge funds, investment managers, and government and regulatory officials to explore the direction of the agricultural market.
