Natural Gas, Brent Crude Oil, Crude (WTI) Oil
VelocityShares’ energy exchange traded product suite includes leveraged long and inverse positions in futures on natural gas, Brent crude oil, and WTI crude oil (West Texas Intermediate) as measured by the S&P GSCI indices. While institutional investors have available a variety of instruments (such as futures, swaps, and forwards) to express views on energy, this suite of exchange traded products provides a convenient alternative with unique capabilities.
These products provide institutional investors an exchange traded instrument for managing risk or expressing short-term market views. The long products are designed to increase in value by a daily-resetting 3x multiple of any increase in the underlying index, while the inverse products are designed to increase in value by a daily-resetting 3x multiple of any decrease in value in the underlying index. For example, an investor interested in being “short UNG” could express this view with the inverse natural gas ETN DGAZ.
