Nice overview, I was wondering what your opinion was on the Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund (QRACX). It's not nearly as big as PIMCO but is still a major player with $1.3 billion in assets as of this morning. Expense ratio is exorbitant though (1.87%).

When I looked at buying the fund (it was perhaps two years ago) I was unable to find a way to easily do so through my discount broker. I believe it is traded on an Irish exchange or something like that. It might be possible for small investors to get in, but I have no idea how. It's certainly not a user-friendly experience.

There is little or no minimum to invest so this is a perplexing statement. Why do you state “the esteemed Rogers International Commodities Index (which sadly is out of the reach of small investors)”?
