Seeking Alpha's Ron Rowland moves four RBS Rogers Enhanced Commodity ETNs and three ETFs with the new PureFunds brand from FactorShares on to the "ETF Deathwatch" list.

Rowland said ETFs carrying the FactorShares name will have difficulty attracting new assets because they have "ridiculously high" expense ratios.

"It continues to amaze me that regulators allow such products to exist, but I guess as long as this travesty is disclosed deep on page 25 of the prospectus (page 35 of the PDF), then it is OK."
