London, 8 February 2013 – UBS Global Asset Management lists three new exchange traded funds (ETFs) on the London Stock Exchange. The additional UBS ETFs are physical replication ETFs based on the Solactive commodities indices and will give investors access to gold, copper and oil.
UBS Global Asset Management offers investors looking to benefit from commodity markets movements three new UBS ETFs, providing them with efficient and UCITS-compliant product solutions for gaining exposure to gold, copper and oil via those companies involved in the exploration and production of these commodities.
Andrew Walsh, UBS Head of ETF UK: “These new ETFs give investors a UCITS-compliant option to gain access to individual commodities via physically replicating ETFs. The ETFs make up a widely diversified basket of global companies from the gold, copper and oil industries. The underlying constituents’ share price movements themselves have a strong correlation to movements in the respective commodities to which they are exposed. Changes in value of these underlying stocks within the indices have an immediate impact on the value of the ETFs.”
