Risk and return

Specialist exchange-traded commodities (ETCs) or exchange-traded notes (ETNs) that track the price of a single commodity have a much higher risk profile and are only likely to be a consideration for more diverse, larger portfolios, belonging to more sophisticated private investors. So too are ETIs which offer short or geared exposure to market returns.

The protections available under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme won't normally be available in connection with ETIs domiciled outside the UK.

Please see the risks section, and the relevant prospectus, which can be found by locating the ETI you're interested in and clicking on the 'Research' tab, for more about risks.
