Ian Dudden, Director of Commodity Products at Euronext.liffe commented: “The performance of our Commodity Products portfolio in 2004 has been particularly impressive as it is our 3rd consecutive record year, underlining the fact that commodities are now firmly accepted as an alternative investment tool. The level of activity we are experiencing is further evidence of the increased understanding of the benefits of using commodity futures and options as risk management tools, as well as the expanding appeal of commodity derivatives as a result of the desire for portfolio diversification.”
