OAKVILLE, ON, May 6, 2022 /CNW/ – Harvest Portfolios Group Inc. (“Harvest”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for the Harvest Canadian Equity Income Leaders ETF (“HLIF”). HLIF is designed to provide Canadian investors access to a managed portfolio of the top 30 Canadian equity income issuers to produce monthly cash distributions and the opportunity for capital appreciation.
“HLIF adds a vital Canadian component to our line up of Equity Income ETFs” said Michael Kovacs, President and CEO of Harvest. “HLIF offers a portfolio of Large Cap equally weighted dividend paying Canadian equities combined with our proven Option writing strategy to deliver attractive steady monthly income that many Canadian investors require in the current interest rate environment.”
HLIF’s investment objectives are to provide Unitholders with (i) monthly cash distributions; (ii) the opportunity for capital appreciation; and (iii) lower overall volatility of portfolio returns than would otherwise be experienced by owning Equity Securities of the Canadian Equity Income Leaders Issuers directly. To achieve lower overall volatility of portfolio returns, the Harvest Canadian Equity Income Leaders ETF will generally write covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio securities. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.
Harvest, a registered investment fund manager and portfolio manager, will act as promoter, trustee, manager and portfolio manager of HLIF and will be responsible for the administration of HLIF.
