ETF Securities to launch entire range of ETCs providing 33 types of both Short and Leveraged Exposure

 

31/01/08

 

* World first for listed access to an entire platform of Short & Leveraged commodity indices via ETCs

* 66 new ETCs to be listed making a total of over 110 ETCs available

* 4 New ETCs, Cocoa, Lead, Tin & Platinum based on the DJ-AIG Commodity Index

 

ETF Securities, the global pioneer of exchange traded commodities (ETCs) will add to its ETC platform with the introduction of 33 Short ETCs and 33 Leveraged ETCs. The Short and Leveraged ETCs will complement ETF Securities’ existing 51 Classic and Forward ETCs which already provide investors long exposure to different parts of the futures curve.

 

The 66 new ETCs are all priced off indices and sub-indices of the Dow Jones – AIG Commodities IndexSM. As with the existing Classic and Forward ETCs, these new ETCs will comprise 19 individual commodities and 9 sub-indices. In addition, four new commodities will be added: Cocoa, Lead, Tin and Platinum. With the new ETCs, ETF Securities will have created over 110 ETCs providing long, short and leveraged exposure to the world’s major commodity markets.

 

The new ETCs are expected to be listed on the London Stock Exchange in the next few weeks and will provide investors access to a wide range of investment and trading strategies. Short ETCs will enable investors to gain from falls in commodity prices. Leveraged ETCs will enable investors to gain from rising commodity prices, providing exposure with 50% less capital.

 

The ETC platform offered by ETF Securities has experienced massive growth in the past eight weeks with assets growing by 50% to over $3.2 billion and daily trading volumes doubling to almost $80 million per day across five European exchanges. The increase in assets has occurred as a result of increased awareness of commodities and ETCs, volatile equity markets creating demand for non-correlated assets, positive commodity fundamentals, inflation fears and annual portfolio rebalancings made at the start of the new year.

 

Short and Leveraged ETCs will be made available on the following Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Indices consisting of 23 individual commodity indices and 10 composite commodity indices:

I am thinking of buying some of the leveraged Gold and Silver ETFs. Has anyone used these? I've bought the normal ones and not had too many problems apart from the sometimes closing at an obscure prices that doesn't reflect the actual commodity but then corrects itself the following day. Also do any of you use the short ones as these look interesting also?
