Domande degli investitori A. GENERALE
 Domande degli investitori
A. GENERALE
‐
Perché i titoli vengono delistati?
ETF Securities rivede regolarmente i prodotti a disposizione degli investitori e, a questo scopo, ha
condotto una verifica su tutti i titoli ETFS Commodity Securities Limited quotati su Borsa Italiana, su
Deutsche Boerse e su NYSE Euronext Paris. ETF Securities punta a negoziare prodotti laddove si
verifichino condizioni sufficienti di liquidità e differenziali ridotti di spread denaro/lettera. Di
conseguenza, abbiamo deciso di procedere al delisting di alcuni titoli emessi da ETFS Commodity
Securities Limited su Borsa Italiana, su Deutsche Boerse e su NYSE Euronext Paris, per concentrare
le liquidità in un numero più limitato di quotazioni e ridurre gli spread.
‐
Dove continueranno a essere negoziati questi titoli?
Tutti i titoli continueranno a essere quotati nel London Stock Exchange e almeno in un’altra borsa
europea. Maggiori dettagli sono riportati nelle tabelle alla fine di questo documento, dove sono
indicate le borse in cui le quotazioni rimarranno presenti, con i relativi ISIN e codici di borsa.
‐
I titoli sono delistati a causa della chiusura dell’emittente o della classe?
No, i titoli non sono delistati né per la chiusura di una classe né per la chiusura della società emittente
ETFS Commodity Securities Limited.
‐
Quando diventerà definitivo il delisting?
Le borse interessate daranno un preavviso di 3 mesi che notificherà l’intenzione ufficiale di procedere
al delisting. Il delisting diventerà attivo dal 7 maggio 2013.
‐
Questo significa che non avrete più alcun impegno verso questi particolari mercati?
ETF Securities è impegnata nel sostenere tutti i titoli negoziati laddove il mercato ha dimostrato un
chiaro supporto ai suoi prodotti, aspetto dimostrato dal volume delle transazioni. I prodotti delistati
hanno presentato volumi di transazione molto ridotti. Pertanto l’intenzione di ETF Securities è puntare
ad assicurare un aumento della liquidità attraverso un’altra piazza di contrattazione in cui i titoli
resteranno quotati.
‐
Avete effettuato il delisting su questi prodotti per la bassa entità del patrimonio
gestito?
No, il primo criterio decisionale è creare una maggiore liquidità per i clienti.
‐
Significa che in futuro potreste effettuare il delisting di altri prodotti?
Il nostro obiettivo è creare centri di liquidità per far sì che, laddove sono negoziati, i nostri prodotti
abbiano una liquidità sufficiente. Questo esercizio consiste nella razionalizzazione delle quotazioni a
vantaggio degli investitori e non è correlato ad alcuna decisione futura di cancellazione dal listino di
altri prodotti.
B. IMPATTO SUGLI INVESTITORI
‐
Che impatto avrà questa operazione sugli investitori?
Abbiamo studiato con attenzione l’effetto dell’operazione sugli investitori per riuscire ad attenuare
qualsiasi potenziale di preoccupazione e riteniamo che il delisting avrà un effetto limitato sugli
investitori per le ragioni seguenti:


‐
È stato divulgato sul mercato un annuncio del piano di delisting e della data in cui entrerà in
vigore. Tale annuncio dà agli investitori un preavviso di 3 mesi, periodo durante il quale gli
investitori potranno scambiare le loro posizioni con la liquidità normalmente fornita dai market
maker.
La maggior parte degli investitori sono in grado di negoziare questi prodotti tramite il loro
broker o in un’altra borsa.
Cosa devo fare prima che il delisting sia attivo?
Nel periodo di preavviso di 3 mesi, chi possiede questi titoli può continuare a detenerli e negoziarli
come di consueto.
Gli investitori dovrebbero consultare il loro broker/consulente per decidere se a seguito del delisting
possono avere accesso alle borse in cui i titoli continueranno ad essere scambiati e per conoscere i
probabili costi associati all’operazione. In alternativa, possono optare per la vendita dei titoli in loro
possesso sulla borsa locale durante il periodo di preavviso di 3 mesi, per evitare di dover sostenere
eventuali costi aggiuntivi legati al possesso e alla negoziazione dei titoli su un’altra borsa in un
momento successivo.
‐
Come faccio a vendere i miei titoli una volta che il delisting è diventato attivo?
I possessori dei titoli potranno ancora continuare a detenerli, ma dovranno venderli su una delle borse
in cui i titoli restano quotati. Non potranno più vendere i titoli delistati in loro possesso sulla loro borsa
locale. Di conseguenza, i costi legati al possesso e alla vendita di tali titoli potrebbero aumentare, ma
gli investitori non sono comunque obbligati a vendere entro una data precisa.
Gli investitori che attualmente negoziano i loro titoli sulla Deutsche Boerse mediante la negoziazione
di certificati con codici ISIN tedeschi dovranno riconvertirli negli iniziali titoli ISIN Jersey per poterli
trasferire e vendere su altre borse una volta delistati; l’operazione comporterà costi supplementari.
Per 2 mesi dopo la data di entrata in vigore del delisting (dal 7 maggio 2013 al 5 luglio 2013), ETFS
Commodity Securities Limited sosterrà i normali costi di passaggio a favore dei possessori di titoli che
desiderano riportare i loro certificati ISIN tedeschi agli iniziali titoli ISIN Jersey. Trascorsi questi due
mesi, gli investitori possono ancora negoziare i loro titoli, ma dovranno personalmente sostenere tutti i
costi associati con il ritorno al titolo ISIN iniziale.
‐
Come faranno gli investitori a entrare in possesso di questi prodotti? Ci saranno costi
aggiuntivi?
Gli investitori possono negoziare i prodotti al di fuori del loro mercato nazionale chiedendo al proprio
broker di eseguire l’ordine a loro nome. ETF Securities non può commentare la struttura tariffaria di
ogni singolo servizio di broker ma, a livello generale, riteniamo che non dovrebbero esserci aumenti
significativi dei costi, sempre se ve ne saranno.

warrant or guarantee the accuracy or correctness of any information contained herein and any opinions related to product or market activity may

relating to such data.
Any historical performance included in this document may be based on back testing. Back tested performance is purely hypothetical and is
provided in this document solely for informational purposes. Back tested data does not represent actual performance and should not be

Risk Warnings
Securities issued by the Issuer are complex, structured products involving a significant degree of risk and are not suitable for all types of investor.
Securities offered by the Issuer are aimed at sophisticated, professional and institutional investors. You must seek appropriate financial, tax and
other advice from independent financial advisors with appropriate regulatory authorisation and qualifications. Any decision to invest should be
based on the information contained in the prospectuses of the Issuer (or any supplements thereto) which includes, inter alia, information on
certain risks associated with an investment. The price of any securities may go up or down and an investor may not get back the amount
invested. Securities are priced in US Dollars and the value of the investment in other currencies will be affected by exchange rate movements.
Investments in the securities of the Issuer which provide a short and/or leveraged exposure are only suitable for sophisticated, professional and
institutional investors who understand leveraged and compounded daily returns and are willing to magnify potential losses by comparison to
investments which do not incorporate these strategies. Over periods of greater than one day, investments with a short and/or leveraged exposure
do not necessarily provide investors with a return equivalent to a return from the unleveraged long or unleveraged short investments multiplied by
the relevant leverage factor.
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 Issuer.
The prospectuses of the Issuer may be obtained from www.etfsecurities.com. Please contact ETFS UK at +44 20 7448 4330 or
