iPath® Optimized Currency Carry ETN

The Barclays Intelligent Carry Index™ adopts an innovative strategy to enable investors to capture returns from foreign currency markets. The index is designed to reflect the total return of an "Intelligent Carry Strategy," which, through an objective and systematic methodology, seeks to capture the returns that are potentially available from a strategy of investing in high-yielding currencies with the exposure financed by borrowings in low-yielding currencies sometimes referred to as the "carry trade." The pool of currencies to which the index may apply these strategies is commonly referred to as the "G10 currencies" and includes the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, the Canadian dollar, the Swiss franc, the British pound sterling, the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, the Norwegian krone and the Swedish krona.
