Exchange Traded Product (ETP) Entrepreneurs to launch new independent platform "BOOST ETP"

October 31, 2012--Today sees the official launch of an exciting new entrant into the Exchange Traded Fund/Product market, BOOST ETP.
BOOST's founders and owners are Hector McNeil and Nik Bienkowski who have been in the European ETP market since its genesis.

McNeil and Bienkowski were Managing Partners at ETF Securities (ETFS). They were instrumental in growing ETFS from $50 million of AUM to $22 billion when they left in September 2010 and October 2010 respectively. Both are still significant shareholders at ETFS, the world's leading Exchange Traded Commodities (ETC) provider.

The opportunity to launch one of only a few European independent ETP issuers has arisen from the significant changes currently affecting the ETP world. In a market dominated by large investment banks and diversified financial institutions significant questions are being asked about their respective ETP business models. Investors and regulators have been looking for more transparency around practices such as stock lending, collateral management and use of in-house hedging techniques. As a result innovation has slowed and is expected to slow further due to funding cuts, bank's requirements to reduce staff numbers and non-core assets. This has left a significant opportunity for an independent, nimble and focused player such as BOOST.
