## Definition

Listed securities that are linked one-to-one to the price of one - for example: Grain - or several commodities. The term thus refers, contrary to what the name suggests, to issued securities. If the issuer of such a security becomes insolvent, the investor risks losing the capital invested. - Precious metal ETCs are often physically deposited with the respective metal - gold, silver, platinum - with the issuer, so that any risk of loss is limited. In addition, some of the precious metal ETCs, which are also popular with small investors, also have a currency hedge. Shifts in the exchange rate, especially between USD and EUR, are thus largely absorbed. - See bond, index-linked, precious metal funds, issue, indexed, financialization, index tracking, index funds, inflation bonds, commodity funds.
