The ETC market is one of the fastest growing investment segments
in the Exchange Traded Product market. Jersey remains a popular

What are Exchange Traded Commodities?
ETCs are simple and efficient and provide exposure to an
ever-increasing range of precious metals, commodities and commodity
indices, including energy, metals, softs and agriculture.
ETCs are debt securities designed to track a specified commodity
such as precious metals and futures. The first ETCs were issued by
banks but now ETCs are increasingly structured as asset-backed
securities issued as senior secured limited recourse securities
issued by a special purpose entity.
