The DJ-UBSCI TR is UBS's first ETN linked to the Dow-Jones UBS Commodity Index, which UBS purchased from AIG in May 2009. The DJ-UBSCI TR measures collateralized returns from a diversified basket of 19 commodity futures contracts from sectors spanning energy, precious metals, industrial metals, grains and livestock.
"This new note linked to the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index offers clients easy accessibility to a variety of hard to access commodities at a very compelling price," said Christopher Yeagley, Managing Director and US Head of Equity Structured Products. "We are thrilled to be able to add the UBS E-TRACS Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return to our stable of ETNs."
ETNs are primarily used as access products, combining exposure to various markets such as commodities with the investment ease of listed securities. UBS E-TRACS belong to an innovative class of investment products offering access to markets and strategies that had not previously been readily available to individual investors.
"UBS E-TRACS offer unique diversification opportunities in a number of commodity sectors, and with the addition of the DJ-UBS Commodity Index to the platform, we now can give access to both of our highly successful commodity indexes, the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index and the UBS Bloomberg Constant Maturity Commodity Index," said Yeagley.
UBS's 10 existing E-TRACS ETNs track the performance of various UBS Bloomberg CMCI indexes, like platinum, silver, gold, livestock, food, etc, and are traded like any other security on NYSE Arca. UBS E-TRACs are senior unsecured notes issued by UBS AG, and can be bought and sold through a broker or financial advisor. For more information about UBS E-TRACs, please visit www.ubs.com/e-tracs.
