Are Exchange Traded Notes at Risk?

With Lehman Brothers on the verge of bankruptcy and other ETN issuers in trouble due to the credit crisis, many investors are wondering if ETNs are still a safe investment. It appears that many investors feel that their ETNs are not at a great risk of default at this time, because they are still trading near their fair market value, but this is something worth keeping a eye on, so that your ETNs do not plummet in value quickly if Lehman or another issuer declares that they will default on the notes.
