"Brent crude oil is used as a benchmark to price roughly two-thirds of the crude oil supply traded in the world, but investors seeking exposure to Brent crude oil through an exchange-traded security have very limited options, " said Paul Somma, head of Exchange Traded Notes at Credit Suisse. "These ETNs provide a way for sophisticated investors to implement innovative short-term trading and hedging strategies based on the ETNs’ leveraged exposure to Brent crude oil futures contracts."

About the ETNs and the Index

The ETNs seek to provide a 3x leveraged long or 3x leveraged inverse return, as applicable, based on the daily performance of the S&P GSCI® Brent Crude ER (the "Index") (as adjusted for fees). The ETNs do not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns that reflect 3-to-1 positive or inverse leverage on the return of the Index for periods longer than a single day. The ETNs rebalance their theoretical exposure on a daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s losses. The ETNs are intended to provide traders and similarly sophisticated investors with an exchange traded security that allows them to express their short-term market views on the performance of Brent crude oil futures contracts composing the Index. The Index tracks a hypothetical position in the nearest-to-expiration ICE Futures Europe Brent crude oil futures contract, where that position is rolled each month into the futures contract expiring in the next month. The Index is calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and its levels are disseminated real-time under the Bloomberg ticker symbol "SPGSBRP" and the Reuters instrument code ".SPGSBRP".
