ETFS 2x Daily Long Brent Crude (LBRT) is designed to enable investors to gain a 'leveraged' exposure to a total return investment in Brent crude oil futures contracts by tracking the Bloomberg Brent Crude Subindex (the "Index") and providing a collateral yield. A daily leveraged exposure means that the product is designed to reflect 200% of the daily percentage change in the Index level. For example, if the Index was to decrease in value by 5% on a particular day, the product is designed to decrease in value by 10% on that day (minus fees and expenses). LBRT is an exchange traded commodity ("ETC"). It is not a UCITS product. Securities in this ETC are structured as debt securities and not as shares (equity) and can be created and redeemed on demand by authorised participants and traded on exchange just like shares in a company. The ETC is backed by swaps.
