Meritz Securities Launches Four 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond ETNs (H)

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] Meritz Securities announced on the 13th that it will list four Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) investing in 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds.

The products are based on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds and include ▲Meritz U.S. Treasury 30-Year ETN (H) ▲Meritz Leveraged U.S. Treasury 30-Year ETN (H) ▲Meritz Inverse U.S. Treasury 30-Year ETN (H) ▲Meritz Inverse 2X U.S. Treasury 30-Year ETN (H), totaling four items. Investors can now invest in the underlying 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds at 1x and 2x leverage, as well as in inverse forms at 1x and 2x leverage.

Although there are already products tracking 30-year U.S. Treasury futures listed in the domestic Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) market, Meritz Securities’ ETNs are the first to track the actual U.S. Treasury bonds (not futures) and allow investment through leverage and inverse 2X methods.

The Meritz U.S. Treasury 30-Year ETN (H) has a longer maturity for the underlying asset compared to the already listed Meritz U.S. Treasury 10-Year ETN (H) series, resulting in greater price fluctuations due to interest rate changes. For this reason, it is a suitable product for investors who want to actively prepare for changes in U.S. Treasury interest rates. Another advantage of these products is that they implement currency hedging (H), allowing investment without exchange rate risk.

Kwon Dong-chan, Head of Trading Division, said, “Due to inflation concerns, volatility across global financial markets is increasing significantly, requiring different preparation methods for each investment portfolio,” adding, “Through various investment methods in the representative ultra-long 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds, it will be possible to expand the proportion of overseas safe assets or actively prepare for the possibility of U.S. interest rate hikes.”
