19/06/09
ETF Securities, the global pioneer of Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs), and provider of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) is pleased to announce that UBS Securities LLC AG has acquired AIG Financial Product Corp.’s commodity business. As a result, the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity IndicesSM are being re-branded as the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndicesSM. Dow Jones will publish both the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndicesSM and the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity IndicesSM for a 30-day period commencing on May 7, 2009. During this 30 day period, Dow Jones will distribute the indices under both sets of tickers (Dow Jones-AIG and Dow Jones-UBS versions) and the values, dissemination times and frequencies for the corresponding Dow Jones-AIG and Dow Jones-UBS indices will be the same. After the 30-day period the Dow Jones-AIG IndicesSM will cease and the tickers will be removed from distribution. ETF Securities has signed a license agreement to use the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndicesSM for its existing commodities products. ETF Securities is in process of switching from tracking the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity IndicesSM to tracking the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndicesSM brand and expects to finalize the transition in the near future. The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndicesSM will follow the same methodology used for the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Indices.
