OAKVILLE, ON, February 18, 2021 /CNW/ – Harvest Portfolios Group Inc., manager of the Blockchain Technologies ETF (“HBLK”), is pleased to announce a portfolio holdings update following the most recent quarterly reconstitution. HBLK tracks the Harvest Blockchain Technologies Index (“the Index”), a cross section of dedicated blockchain and large capitalization technology companies that are engaged in blockchain technologies. Over time, as the universe of dedicated blockchain companies grows, the Index will have progressively higher weightings towards that segment at pre-defined stages.

“Three years since the launch of Canada’s first Blockchain ETF, we are delighted to see that this quarter the Index moved into stage 2, representing a 65% weighting towards dedicated blockchain companies across 25 North American listed securities and 35% allocated  towards 10 large capitalization technology companies.”,  commented Michael Kovacs, President & CEO of Harvest Portfolios Group Inc., “The global adoption of Blockchain continues to gather momentum and HBLK is positioned to progressively benefit from that growth”.

Certain statements in the Harvest Blog are forward looking Forward-looking statements (“FLS”) are statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” or “estimate,” or other similar expressions. Statements that look forward in time or include anything other than historical information are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results, actions or events could differ materially from those set forth in the FLS.
