ETNs, or Exchange-Traded Notes, are a type of financial instrument that operates as unsecured debt obligations. This means that they are not backed by any collateral, differentiating them from other types of securities.

ETNs are typically issued by financial institutions, most commonly banks. These institutions determine the key terms associated with ETNs, such as the expected return rates and the maturity dates.

Similar to bonds, ETNs offer investors the flexibility to trade them on the open market before their maturity date. This allows investors to potentially capitalize on market movements or adjust their portfolios as needed.

The lack of collateral backing for ETNs makes them inherently riskier than collateralized securities. However, the potential for higher returns can offset this risk for some investors.
