ETF Securities expands its short and leveraged offering on London Stock Exchange

•    2015 has seen increased investor demand for ETF Securities’ existing short and leveraged Exchange Traded Product (ETP) suite with global net inflows of approximately US$135 million

•    18 new 3x short and leveraged commodity ETPs and six new 5x short and leveraged currency ETPs listed on London Stock Exchange (the “LSE”)

ETF Securities Group, one of the world’s leading, independent providers of ETPs, has announced the listing of 18 new 3x short and leveraged commodity ETPs and six new 5x short and leveraged currency ETPs on the LSE today.

2015 has seen increased volatility across currencies and commodities and investors globally have demonstrated an increased interest in short and leveraged ETPs, with ETF Securities own platform experiencing US$135mn of inflows year to date.

ETF Securities was the first provider to list European currency ETPs in 2010 and is now the first provider to list 5x short and leveraged currency ETPs on the London Stock Exchange having already launched 3x short and leveraged commodity and 5x short and leveraged currency products in Italy and Germany earlier this year.

Commenting on the launch, Townsend Lansing, Executive Director – Head of Short / Leveraged & FX Platforms, ETF Securities (UK) Limited, said:

“We are listing these new short and leveraged products on the London Stock Exchange in response to a strong demand from investors. We have seen tremendous growth in our short and leveraged platform across Europe over the last few years.

“The launch of our 3x short and leveraged commodity products and 5x short and leveraged currency products is a natural extension to our existing unleveraged range and offers a greater choice to investors.

“2015 has been a year of heightened currency volatility. We believe the additional leverage will first and foremost allow investors to use the currency products to hedge currency risk as well provide additional opportunities to trade on a short term basis with a competitive total cost of ownership.”

Risk Warnings

Any products referenced in this document are generally aimed at sophisticated, professional and institutional investors. Any decision to invest should be based on the information contained in the prospectus (and any supplements thereto) of the relevant product issue. The price of any securities may go up or down and an investor may not get back the amount invested. Securities may valued in currencies other than those in which there are priced and will be affected by exchange rate movements.

Investors should refer to the section entitled ”Risk Factors” in the relevant prospectus for further details of these and other risks associated with an investment in any securities referenced in this communication.
