Neither Barclays Bank PLC nor any of its affiliates (collectively "Barclays") is the issuer or producer of L&G Multi-Strategy Enhanced Commodities UCITS ETF (the “Fund”) and Barclays has no responsibilities, obligations or duties to investors in the Fund. The Barclays Backwardation Tilt Multi-Strategy Capped Total Return Index (the “Index”) is a trademark owned by Barclays Bank PLC and, together with any component indices and index data, is licensed for the benefit of Legal & General UCITS ETF PLC as the issuer or producer of the Fund (the “Issuer”).
Barclays’ only relationship with the Issuer in respect of the Index is the licensing of the Index, which is administered, compiled and published by the index sponsor (the “Index Sponsor”) without regard to the Issuer or the Fund or investors in the Fund. Additionally, Legal & General UCITS ETF PLC as issuer or producer of the Fund may for itself execute transaction(s) with Barclays in or relating to the Index in connection with the Fund. Investors acquire the Fund from Legal & General UCITS ETF PLC and investors neither acquire any interest in the Index nor enter into any relationship of any kind whatsoever with Barclays upon making an investment in the Fund. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Barclays.
The Index Sponsor role is performed by Barclays Index Administration (“BINDA”). BINDA is a distinct function within Barclays Bank PLC. As the administration function providing Barclays' indices, BINDA operates independently from Barclays Bank PLC's sales, trading and structuring desks and investment managers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, potential conflicts of interest exist as a consequence of Barclays Bank PLC operating index administration alongside its other businesses.
