Commodity Investing from the UK - ETFs?

[catandcrow]

I'm aware of LSE listed ETFs for gold and oil but what are the options for investing in other more exotic commodies like lead or coffee? How could I best do this from the UK without involving loads of currency risk and expense?

 

I'm not too keen on using leverage as I want to buy and hold - so a spreadbetting account wouldn't be great. Listed Covered Warrants would be a option but seem a very expensive way to do it. Advice would be very much welcome.

 

Thanks,

 

Ian

You may need to use spreadbettors like IG Index- I have used them

Cheers Frizzers - I'll certainly look into a TD Waterhouse account. Be good for international equities too. The Deutsch Bank Commodity ETF looks interesting:
