About Barclays Bank PLC
This ETN was delisted after the market close on April 12, 2018, and now trades over-the-counter on the pink sheets. As a result, shareholders should anticipate ultra-wide spreads, minimal trading volumes, and prices well above or below NAVs. COW is a livestock ETN that tracks an index comprised of lean hogs and live cattle futures contracts. That differs from our benchmark, which incorporates all three types of livestock contracts: lean hogs, live cattle, and feeder cattle. The index typically rolls its contracts every other month, except in May and June, when the lean hog exposure rolls into the front-month contract to allow for greater contract liquidity during the summer trading season. Investors will find that COW charges an average price relative to the segment as a whole but yields higher trading volume and AUM compared to both of its peersLSTK and UBC. Both of these liquidity factors will help lower all-in costs for investors.
