The Terra Classic ETP tool will reportedly be available until June 12.

The sum of assets under management for all six products is less than $700,000.

The company's spokesperson has said:

"It is a routine/standard practice in the ETP industry. While these ETPs saw relatively low demand, we're seeing continuous strong demand in our other products."
