Can I gain a tax advantage by placing Commodity Futures and Currency ETFs in a Roth account?



I am interested in diversifying my portfolio and adding some alternative investments to potentially boost my returns. I know these are taxed as partnerships and I will be sent a K-1 at the end of the calendar year. I am aware of the 60% Short term, 40% long term taxation on these type of funds as well. I was wondering though if I could avoid all these complexities and place them in a Roth IRA account and not have to worry about the future tax ramifications.

You may want to be careful since losses cannot be declared in a Roth account. You should check this and your concept with a trusted, certified tax professional or accountant.
