Meritz Securities, Partnering with Solactive for the First Time, Launches a Series of ETNs, Tracking Solactive WTI Leverage Indices

May 14, 2025--Solactive is pleased to announce its inaugural collaboration with Meritz Securities by supporting the launch of 3 ETNs, each tracking to the Solactive WTI Leverage Index family. Considering persistent global market fluctuations and heightened uncertainty surrounding energy supply chains, crude oil has reasserted its role as a key instrument for tactical asset allocation.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil continues to draw investor attention due to its sensitivity to geopolitical and macroeconomic developments.

Leveraged strategies offer investors the ability to capitalize on directional views-either bullish or bearish-on short-term WTI price movements. Moreover, given WTI's differentiated correlation profile versus equities and fixed income, the indices may serve as effective diversifiers within broader multi-asset portfolios.

The product suite comprises three distinct leveraged index strategies: Solactive WTI Total Return 2x Long Leverage Index, Solactive WTI Total Return 2x Short Leverage Index, and Solactive WTI Total Return 1x Long Leverage Index.
