ETF Securities Committed to commodities.<br />
It is becoming increasingly important for investors to consider<br />
strategies that are different from traditional asset classes and<br />
strategies. For nearly a decade, investors looking for alternative<br />
investment opportunities have relied on the expertise of ETF<br />
Securities. ETF Securities is the world’s largest independent<br />
provider of commodity exchange traded<br />
products (ETPs). The company listed the<br />
world's first physically-backed gold ETP<br />
in 2003 and now offers over 300 different<br />
ETPs covering a wide range of commodity,<br />
currency and equity exposures<br />
listed on major exchanges.<br />
Committed to Commodities<br />
As more investors look to diversify their holdings, asset classes<br />
and strategies that were once the preserve of the most sophisticated<br />
institutional investors are becoming more broadly understood<br />
and more widely used. Commodities often have different<br />
risk and return characteristics to traditional asset classes such<br />
as equities and bonds and can therefore play an important role<br />
in diversification. Since inception, ETF Securities has been<br />
dedicated to making commodities more accessible to investors.<br />
What began with listing the world’s first exchange-traded gold<br />
product on a stock exchange, has led in part to the emergence<br />
of a global <strong>Exchange</strong> <strong>Traded</strong> Commodities market.<br />
