OAKVILLE, ON, Feb 16, 2022 /CNW/ – Harvest Portfolios Group Inc. (“Harvest”) is pleased to announce the completion of the initial offering of Class A Units of the Harvest Diversified Monthly Income ETF pursuant to a prospectus dated February 4, 2022, filed with the securities regulatory authorities in all of the Canadian provinces and territories. The Class A Units of the Harvest Diversified Monthly Income ETF will commence trading on the TSX today under the following ticker symbol: (TSX: HDIF). This innovative ETF is designed to provide Canadian investors access to a core diversified monthly income solution.
The Harvest Diversified Monthly Income ETF investment objective is to provide holders of Class A Units with high monthly cash distributions and the opportunity for capital appreciation by investing, on a levered basis, in a portfolio of exchange traded mutual funds managed by the Manager that are listed on a recognized Canadian stock exchange and that engage in covered call strategies. The ETF will use leverage in order to seek to achieve its investment objective. Leverage will be created through the use of cash borrowings or as otherwise permitted under applicable securities legislation. The maximum aggregate exposure of the ETF to cash borrowing will not generally exceed approximately 33% of the ETF’s net asset value.
“We are very excited to launch HDIF, the latest addition to the Harvest Equity Income ETF lineup.
