FRANKFURT AM MAIN – Solactive is pleased to announce its collaboration with Samsung Securities on the launch of six exchange-traded notes (ETNs) tracking Solactive indices covering copper, gold, and silver. Listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX), the ETNs provide exposure to the daily performance of commodity futures-based indices through long and inverse strategies, reflecting different directions of commodity price movements.
Commodity markets play an important role in global financial markets, reflecting developments in industrial demand, monetary policy, and geopolitical conditions. Copper is widely used in infrastructure development, electrification, and renewable energy technologies, while gold has traditionally served as a store of value during periods of economic uncertainty. Silver combines precious metal characteristics with industrial applications, particularly electronics and solar energy. These distinct market drivers highlight the different economic characteristics of the three commodities.
The Solactive Gold, Silver and Copper Leveraged Index families are designed to reflect the performance of their respective underlying commodity futures-based excess return indices, incorporating the US 3-Month T-Bill Investment rate and specified leverage factors. The index families include long and inverse variants, providing rules-based benchmarks for different directions and levels of daily commodity futures exposure.
The indices are calculated intraday based on their respective underlying indices and incorporate daily exposure adjustments to maintain their specified leverage factors. Their total return calculation also accounts for the applicable interest rate component. Due to daily compounding, index performance over periods longer than one day may differ from the stated leverage factor multiplied by the cumulative return of the underlying index.
The six ETNs are scheduled to be listed on 06 November 2026 on the Korea Exchange (KRX), with the following launch details:

|---|---|---|
| Samsung Securities Samsung Gold Futures ETN 151 | 530151.KS | Solactive Gold Total Return 1x Long Leverage |
