Like a mutual fund, it can accept small investment amounts and is sold through a network of brokers who will generally receive a commission on those sales. The investors in the SuperFund do not need to meet the higher requirements for hedge funds because the securities are publicly traded. It is a longer and more expensive process to establish a publicly traded commodity pool than it is to establish a futures/commodities hedge fund. Regards, Bart Bob,

What I am having a hard time figuring out is how does a company like Superfund accept investments as low as $5k?
