Tom Lydon submits:

SummerHaven Investment Managment LLC partnered with a Yale professor to create the computer-driven investment strategy on which the U.S. Commodity Index Fund (NYSEArca: USCI) is based. Ian Salisbury for The Wall Street Journal reports that USCI will have the assistance of Yale Management School Professor Geert Rouwenhorst, whose research helped drive the increasing small-investor interest in commodities.
