I've been reviewing my pension holding and I'm not happy with the performance of Eclectica Agriculture. Currency converted, it's underperformed the Equity Agriculture sector, and, more drastically the S&P Global Agribusiness Index. I really should have learnt with these larger than life characters, but it seems as if Hugh Hendry can talk a good talk whilst underperforming evey relevent benchmark.
Does anyone know of a S&P Global Agribusiness Index tracker - open/ETF or otherwise ?

Re: Agriculture
Another good one (though it dropped off quite a bit just recently) might be Allianz Global Agrictultural Trends (one of Trustnet Direct's Top100).

Should've stuck with it. I did, more because I never got around to selling than for any positive reason.
Five year record is +60%, of which more than half in the last twelve months. Eclectica seems to have returned half as much over the five years, also with a recent upturn. Allianz has underperformed both of them.

Re: Agriculture
This is a theme I looked at about 3 years ago and considered Eclectica and Sarasin. In the end, I didn't buy.
I got distracted into researching into potash companies. I learned a lot, but have forgotten it all now!
All I ended up with was a small holding of Sirius(LSE:SSX)
I have looked at agriculture much since, but I suppose the demographics will be as compelling as ever.
