Profile

https://oci-global.com

WisdomTree Natural Gas is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) designed to provide investors with total return exposure to natural gas futures, specifically tracking the Bloomberg Commodity Natural Gas Subindex 4W Total Return. This index reflects the performance of natural gas (Henry Hub) futures contracts that are continuously rolled on a predetermined schedule within the Bloomberg Commodity Index framework, incorporating roll yield effects from contango or backwardation. Launched on 27 September 2006 and domiciled in Jersey, the ETC employs a synthetic replication method through fully collateralised swaps with counterparties like Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Merrill Lynch International, backed by high-quality sovereign bonds and cash held in segregated accounts at The Bank of New York Mellon. With assets under management around 88-133 million euros or equivalent USD, it features a management expense ratio of 0.49% and is UCITS eligible, though structured as a debt security rather than equity. WisdomTree Natural Gas plays a key role in commodity markets by offering a convenient, transparent vehicle for gaining leveraged-free access to natural gas price movements without the need for physical storage or delivery, suitable for diversification in energy sectors amid volatility influenced by supply dynamics, weather, and geopolitical factors.
