Statistics show that the vast majority of commodity investors come away actually losing money, this was especially true for 2011. This year was a rough one on commodities as global instability created volatile trading, resulting in most of this asset class losing money. But of course with big losers comes a great opportunity to buy in while a fund is still cheap. Though, it may also be that you simply want to stay away from some of these bad-performing funds to protect yourself from more losses. Whatever may be the case, we outline the five worst performing commodity ETPs of 2011. Note that the list is a bit modified in that we only chose one fund from each commodity type and did not include any funds that launched this year [see also Three Things Wall Street Journal Didn’t Tell You About Commodities].
