As we emphasized, the largest stocks within this group are fairly diversified, so this would be a good group to look at for broad commodity-related moves.

Affiliated Managers (AMG@AMG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) has more or less followed the broad market; it is clear that this group fund was exposed to the subprime and credit dangers which rocked the market earlier this year. And we see that this stock has also rallied big in the last few weeks, also perfectly in-line with the broader indices.
Franklin Resources (BEN@BEN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating), on the other hand, paints a different picture. This fund was also exposed to the recent credit problems, but the difference between the two stocks lies in their respective rebounds. While AMG has rocketed back, BEN has made a much more conservative move, with a bounce followed by some consolidation.
Affiliated Managers' PowerRating (for Investors) is 8.

Across the board, it would be wise to check out the stocks in this group to look for potential opportunities. As we see with AMG, these stocks are primed and ready to make big moves over a short period of time.
