UK Fund Reporting Status for Boost ETPs is Granted

January 14, 2014--Boost, the award winning and independent exchange traded product (ETP) provider,, announced that HM Revenue & Customs has approved all current Boost ETPs as "UK Reporting Funds" under the provisions of The Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009 (the "Regulations").

This means that a sale of Boost ETPs by UK taxable investors will be regarded as a disposal subject to UK capital gains tax (CGT). CGT will only be charged to the extent that the gains arising to an investor in any particular tax year exceed the relevant annual exemption threshold. Boost advises all investors to consult their own tax advisor to ascertain the implications (if any) of this information.

Interest in exchange-traded gold products remains high
January 13, 2014--Xetra-Gold from Deutsche BÖrse Commodities GmbH remains by far the most traded ETC on Xetra, as in previous years. Trading volume was around €1.7 billion in 2013. Xetra-Gold (DE000A0S9GB0) alone thus accounted for a good 28% of all ETC trading. db Physical Gold Euro Hedged ETC (DE000A1EK0G3) took second place and db Physical Gold ETC (EUR) (DE000A1E0HR8) took third.

This means that the three top ETCs in 2013 were all gold products -just like in the previous year.

"Although the gold price fell sharply in 2013, exchange traded gold products continued to experience strong demand. Many investors probably used the low prices to enter the market. Amongst all the gold ETCs Xetra-Gold excelled with the highest trading revenues. Investors value this simple, flexible and safe way of participating in the performance of the gold price," said Martina Gruber, managing director at Deutsche BÖrse Commodities GmbH.
