ETFS 3x Short USD Long GBP

Investment objective
ETFS 3x Short USD Long GBP is designed to track the MSFXSM Triple Short US Dollar/GBP Index (TR). This index aims to reflect three times the daily percentage change between the two currencies, plus generates a collateral yield on the cash invested.
Safety and Structure
The ETC is a debt security issued by ETFS Foreign Exchange Ltd (FXL) and is backed by Currency Transactions entered into with Currency Transaction Counterparties (CTCs). Counterparty risk is minimised by way of daily marked-to-market payments, and cash is used to enter into repo transactions with CTCs in exchange for eligible collateral. The eligible collateral is held by the collateral manager BNY Mellon in a custody account and valued daily.
Index Description
MSFXSM Triple Short US Dollar/GBP Index (TR) is a total return index reflecting the performance of a fully collateralised position in currency forward contracts which are rolled on a daily basis. The index provides short exposure to (i) movements in exchange rates between the local currency (USD) and GBP and (ii) an interest differential component based on GBP interest rates less local borrowing costs - to the extent either are incorporated in forward contract prices.

The methodology which Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. uses in order to calculate the index is set out in the MSFXSM Indices Manual available here.

Triple Short Currency Indices reflect a leveraged exposure to the Daily Currency Exposure of minus three times (-3x). Each Triple Short Currency Index provides the same Daily Collateral Yield as the corresponding Short Currency Index.

Investments which provide a short and/or leveraged exposure may only be suitable for professional investors with knowledge of the risks and benefits of these strategies and who understand leverage, compounded daily returns and are willing to magnify potential losses by comparison to securities that provide an unleveraged exposure. FXL securities which provide leveraged short or leveraged long exposure are designed to provide a specific exposure to daily changes in currency exchange rates.  Over periods of greater than one day, they do not necessarily provide security holders with a return equivalent to the return from the unleveraged long or unleveraged short securities multiplied by the relevant leverage factor.
Liquidity
ETCs are debt securities which can be created or redeemed on demand (by authorised participants). It trades on exchange just like an equity and its pricing and tracking operate similarly to an Exchange Traded Fund.
