1. Presentation :
This is an ETC (Exchange Traded Commodity) issued by BNP Paribas aiming to replicate the RICI Enhanced Industrial Metals Excess Return index. The instrument provides exposure to industrial metals through the index methodology and includes a daily hedge against EUR/USD exchange rate movements. The distribution policy is accumulation.

2. Benefits :
Provides direct, investable exposure to industrial metals prices without physically holding the commodities. The "enhanced" component seeks to optimise index behaviour (e.g. roll management), and the daily currency hedge reduces FX risk for euro?denominated investors. The listed vehicle eases access and enables continuous buying and selling via a brokerage account.

3. Risks :
Industrial metals are a volatile asset class subject to economic cycles and supply/demand shocks. ETCs often rely on contracts or derivatives, creating roll risk, contango/backwardation and tracking error. There is also issuer risk and, depending on the structure, counterparty risk. Daily currency hedging can mitigate but also introduce performance divergences.

4. Investor profile :
Suitable for investors seeking targeted exposure to industrial metals for diversification or tactical positions, who accept high volatility and commodity instrument risk. Less appropriate for investors seeking regular income or low volatility.
