The Barclays Bank PLC issues debt securities called iPath Exchange Traded Notes or ETNs. They allow investors or traders to invest in financial products that track the performance of different market benchmarks or strategies. ETNs are like stocks, they are listed on exchanges and they can be shorted.
These are four currency ETNs issued by Barclays Bank PLC:
iPath EUR/USD Exchange Rate ETN (symbol name: ERO): This is a foreign exchange spot rate that measures the relative values of the Euro and the U.S. dollar.
iPath GBP/USD Exchange Rate ETN (symbol name: GBB): This is a foreign exchange spot rate that measures the relative values of the British pound and the U.S. dollar.
iPath JPY/USD Exchange Rate ETN (symbol name: JYN): This is a foreign exchange spot rate that measures the relative values of the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar.
iPath Optimized Currency Carry (symbol name: ETN): This ETN tracks the returns of an "Intelligent Carry Strategy", which consists of a trading system that buys high-yielding currencies and borrows the money from low-yielding currencies (carry trade). The currencies used in this strategy are the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Canadian dollar, the Japanese yen, the British pound sterling, the Swiss franc, the Australian dollar, the Norwegian krone, the New Zealand dollar and the Swedish krona. These currencies are referred to as the "G10 currencies".

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
