Since then, ETF Securities has listed its ETCs on Europe's major exchanges (Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam and Italy) with each exchange creating a separate ETC segment. With Classic, Forward, Short and Leveraged ETCs available, investors can execute most trading and investment strategies previously not possible.
