About
DB Gold Short ETN due February 15, 2038 (DGZ) is an exchange-traded note structured as a senior, unsecured debt instrument issued by Deutsche Bank AG. Its value is linked to the performance of an index that tracks the inverse of the daily return of a specific gold futures contract.
This ETN is designed to provide a return that corresponds to the inverse of the daily performance of the Deutsche Bank Gold Short ETN Index. That index itself aims to reflect the inverse daily changes in the market value of a single, unfunded gold futures contract. Therefore, the ETN's price typically moves in the opposite direction of the price of gold futures on a daily basis.
Investors do not own the underlying futures contract or any physical gold. Instead, they hold a debt obligation of Deutsche Bank AG. The return is calculated daily and reset, which means the ETN's performance over longer periods may differ from the simple inverse of gold's spot price change due to compounding effects. The note has a scheduled maturity date in February 2038, at which point it will pay a cash amount based on the final index level.
