Rogers International Commodity Index (RICI®) Composition Unchanged -- FX Source Changed

SINGAPORE,Jan. 23,2021 -- Following the annual meeting of the Rogers International Commodity Index (RICI®) Committee,Jim Rogers and Beeland Interests,Inc. announce no adjustments to the weights of components comprising the RICI,leaving the Index components and weights unchanged since the January 2019 roll period. This outcome reaffirms the founding premise that for the sake of transparency,consistency and stability,composition changes to the RICI be infrequent.

Effective with the January 2021 roll period,which roll period begins at the end of January 2021,the Index will use WM/Refinitiv Closing Spot Rates fixed at 4 p.m. London as the FX source for settlement levels. The Monthly Contract Weight (MCW) to be calculated for the January 2021 roll period also will use such rates on the MCW calculation day. TPI will continue to be the FX source used for Index intraday levels.

The RICI represents the value of a compendium (or "basket") of globally traded commodities employed in the global economy (38 commodity futures contracts),ranging from agricultural and energy products to metals and minerals. The RICI and its various sub-indexes are used by many investment banks and investors throughout the world.
