Each share of the trust represents 100 Euros. This fund likely to not only be popular with individual traders but also be popular with hedge funds that want to use this fund to hedge against the US Dollar.There are other funds that can also act as a hedge besides the new Euro Fund.

Energy is a Risky Business
(ContentDesk) August 15, 2005 -- Energy trading is not for amateurs who think that they just bring over forex traders for a swing at the fences and get those great returns. Well, get real folks, some experienced but lesser talented hedge fund managers have blown up. Some big losses at investment banks in oil trading recently are also showing that energy risk is real, deep, complex and getting substantially more risky.The often quoted remark that "traditional market theory would say that greater liquidity and thus less volatility" is just not true. I have had a continuing debate on 3 continents with economists who look for mean reversion and less volatility due to greater liquidity arguments.
