The annual rebalancing of the DJ-AIGCISM and DJ-AIGCI-F3SM, and consequently the adjustment to the number of Micro Securities in each of the twenty categories of Index Securities (comprising ten categories of Classic Index Securities and ten categories of Forward Index Securities) issued by ETFS Commodity Securities Limited has been completed.
Table 1 and 2 show the new number of Micro Securities comprised in each Index Security for Classic Index Securities and Forward Index Securities. No further changes will occur until the next rebalancing, scheduled for early January 2010.
Table 3 shows the effective weight of each commodity based on the new number of Micro Securities and current commodity prices (as at close on 15 January 2009).
