ETF Securities Launches World’s First Physically-Backed Industrial Metal ETCs
November 7, 2010--ETF Securities Limited has today launched the world's first physically-backed industrial metal Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs). These new products will, for the first time, give investors access to industrial metals in an easy, secure and transparent way via a security traded on the London Stock Exchange. A total of six individual metals are being offered under the Prospectus together with a basket comprising all the metals.
The first securities to be available for trading will be ETFS Physical Copper, ETFS Physical Nickel, and ETFS Physical Tin. Trading in these securities is expected to commence on Friday 10th December. The remaining securities, being ETFS Physical Aluminium, ETFS Physical Lead and ETFS Physical Zinc and ETFS Physical IM Basket, will be available for trading in the new year.
The Industrial Metal ETCs have been designed to "bolt on" to the pricing, delivery and rules of the London Metal Exchange (LME) – the world's most respected exchange for the trading of industrial metals. The Issuer, ETFS Industrial Metal Securities Limited, will effect all creations and redemptions through a special purpose LME account and will be subject to the LME rules and regulations, including lending guidance. Market makers will be able to effect creations and redemptions against delivery of LME physical metal, evidenced by LME Warrants1. This will ensure the transparency of all trading in the underlying physical metal. The Issuer will initially hold metal as LME Warrants but may move some (but not all) metal off-warrant as assets build up in order to stay within lending guidance and to reduce storage fees. At all times, all metal will be stored in warehouses which are approved and audited by the LME. The costs of holding the Industrial Metal ETCs will comprise a management fee as well as storage and insurance fees. Storage fees will be capped at the warehouse fees published annually by the LME but may be reduced over time if the Issuer is able to negotiate lower fees once assets build up.

Ljubljana Stock Exchange uses Deutsche Börse’s Xetra System
Vienna Stock Exchange links Slovenian Stock Exchange to the Xetra Network
December 6, 2010--Electronic securities trading at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange was transferred to Deutsche Börse’s pan-European Xetra trading system on Monday. The Slovenian exchange is being linked to the Xetra network through the Vienna Stock Exchange, which has operated its own cash market with Xetra since 1999.
The technical requirements are now in place to provide users of the fully electronic Xetra trading system with direct access to the Slovenian financial market. Deutsche Börse and the Vienna Stock Exchange are supporting the development of the Slovenian capital market by offering international investors this access. In addition, around 30 new market participants from Slovenia now have the opportunity to access the approximately 500,000 instruments traded on Xetra.
Frank Gerstenschläger, a member of Deutsche Börse AG’s Executive Board, said: “We have been working with the Vienna Stock Exchange for over ten years as a sourcing partner. We are delighted that this successful cooperation means one more CEESEG partner exchange, the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, can operate with Xetra technology.”
Cash market trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange has been based on Xetra technology since November 1999. Since December 2009, the Central European Gas Hub (CEGH) has operated with Xetra under license from the Vienna Stock Exchange. Alongside Ljubljana, the CEESEG partner exchanges in Prague and Budapest are to use the Xetra trading system in the future. The Vienna Stock Exchange is taking a central international role in the CEE Stock Exchange Group (CEESEG), coordinating international projects and driving their future development.

- Source announces the launch of three emerging markets ETFs: MSCI Brazil, MSCI China, MSCI India Source ETFs
December 6, 2010--Building on the success of its emerging markets ETFs and continued demand for more efficient products, Source announces today the launch of three ETFs providing single emerging country exposure: MSCI Brazil, MSCI China and MSCI India Source ETFs.
These new additions to Source’s product range are the perfect complement to the existing Source emerging markets offering, which includes the MSCI Emerging Markets Source ETF and the RDX (Russia) Source ETF. Investors can now gain exposure to broad emerging markets as well as each of the individual BRIC countries through the use of Source ETFs.
In the current environment of low rates and uncertainty for G7 countries, investors continue to turn to markets with relatively stronger economic and corporate earnings growth potential. Emerging markets have been one of the main beneficiaries of this shift, with net inflows in European emerging markets ETFs reaching nearly US$10 BN this year and total assets outstanding increasing to US$44 BN as at end of November.
Ted Hood, CEO of Source, commented: “We are excited to provide investors with a compelling and growing range of emerging markets products. Investors can now gain exposure to all BRIC countries as well as to broad emerging markets while benefiting from the efficiencies of Source’s ETFs, which offer limited counterparty exposure and outstanding trading liquidity.”
Each ETF tracks the total return version of its MSCI underlying index. The MSCI Brazil and MSCI China Source ETFs each have 0.65% annual management fee and the MSCI India Source ETF has a management fee of 0.85% p.a. These new products trade in USD on the London Stock Exchange. db x-trackers veröffentlicht täglich aktuell Swap-Anteile Im Einzelnen werden ab heute folgende Informationen unter www.dbxtrackers.com auf den Detailseiten zu den einzelnen ETFs veröffentlicht und täglich aktualisiert:

6. Dezember 2010. db x-trackers1, die Plattform der Deutschen Bank für
börsennotierte Indexfonds, veröffentlicht ab heute täglich aktualisiert Details der
Portfolios ihrer ETFs. Dazu gehört auch die Information zu der Höhe des Netto
Swap-Anteils in Prozent des Nettoinventarwerts (NAV), sowie die zur Minimierung des Netto- Kontrahentenrisikos hinterlegten Sicherheiten.
Bei allen bisher aufgelegten ETFs nutzt db x-trackers die Methode der synthetischen Replikation. Dabei wird die Wertentwicklung des Index auf der Seite des Swap-Partners Deutsche Bank generiert. Über eine Swap-Vereinbarung wird die Indexrendite an den ETF weitergegeben, so dass sich der ETF in der Regel jederzeit nahezu identisch zum unterliegenden Index entwickelt. Nach UCITS-III-Regeln darf das Netto-Kontrahentenrisiko in Bezug auf einen Kontrahenten je Fonds zehn
Prozent des Nettoinventarwertes des Fonds nicht übersteigen. „db x-trackers ETFs sind als UCITS-III-konforme Sondervermögen aufgelegt. Die jetzt veröffentlichten
Daten haben wir bisher bereits tagesaktuell auf Anfrage zur Verfügung gestellt und bieten sie nun auch regelmäßig im Internet an“, sagt Thorsten Michalik, verantwortlich für db x-trackers.
