What would happen if ETF Securities were to go bankrupt?
If in the unlikely situation ETF Securities were to go bankrupt, this would not affect the value of the ETCs. Each ETC is issued by a Special Purpose Vehicle whose assets are ring-fenced for investor’s safety and the activities for each Issuer is monitored by an independent Trustee. ETF Securities does not hold any investor money – all cash and commodities exposure is outsourced to credit worthy companies who are leaders in the respective field.
