ETCs sobre Materias PrimasIntroducción

Page 12: Conference ETFs commodities

ETCs sobre Materias PrimasClase de activo que no puede ser ignorado

• La industrialización continua y el incremento de la riqueza de la población en las principales economíasmundiales justifican la demanda de materias primas a largo plazo

• Recientemente, el aumento en la deuda soberana de los países desarrollados y la expansión monetaria hanincrementado la demanda de “hard assets” como una manera de cubrirse ante la inflación y la potencialdevaluación de las divisasdevaluación de las divisas

• Los activos con mejor comportamiento durante los últimos 10 años continúan siendo las materias primas, conuna volatilidad similar a la de la renta variable de mercados desarrollados y con una tendencia general de bajacorrelación respecto a otras importantes clases de activos

Risk Warnings

Securities issued by CSL, FXL and OSL are complex, structured products involving a significant degree of risk and are not suitable for all types of investor. Securities offered by the Issuers and the Company are aimed at sophisticated, professional andinstitutional investors. Any decision to invest should be based on the information contained in the prospectus (and any supplements thereto) of the relevant Issuer or the Company which includes, inter alia, information on certain risks associated with aninvestment.

Investors should refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the relevant prospectus for further details of these and other risks associated with an investment in the securities offered by the Issuers and the Company.
