BetaPro Management Inc. Launches New Suite of HBP Single ETFs on TSX
Thu Jun 25, 8:00 AMTORONTO, June 25 /CNW/ - Jovian Capital Corporation ("Jovian") (JOV: TSX) and its subsidiary BetaPro Management Inc. ("BetaPro") are pleased to announce the listing of four new commodity-based Horizons BetaPro Single Exchange Traded Funds ("HBP Single ETFs") on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The HBP Single ETFs are expected to track the long-term performance of their underlying benchmarks, less applicable fees and expenses, as there is no daily rebalancing and no leverage used.
"Due to advisor and investor interest, we have added commodity-based non-leveraged ETFs to our suite of investment solutions," said Howard Atkinson, President of BetaPro Management Inc. "The roll methodology we have selected for each commodity has shown to track closer to spot prices than rolling to the nearby future."
The new HBP Single ETFs and their ticker symbols are:
Horizons BetaPro COMEX(R) Silver ETF ("HBP COMEX(R) Silver ETF") (HUZ)
Horizons BetaPro COMEX(R) Gold ETF ("HBP COMEX(R) Gold ETF") (HUG)
Horizons BetaPro Winter-Term NYMEX(R) Crude Oil ETF
("HBP Winter NYMEX(R) Crude Oil ETF") (HUC)
Horizons BetaPro Winter-Term NYMEX(R) Natural Gas ETF
("HBP Winter NYMEX(R) Natural Gas ETF") (HUN)
Each HBP Single ETF is designed to provide investment results, before fees, expenses, distributions, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, that endeavour to correspond to the performance of its specified underlying index. The HBP COMEX(R) Silver ETF and HBP COMEX(R) Gold ETF will use the COMEX(R) silver futures contract for a subsequent delivery month and the COMEX(R) gold futures contract for a subsequent delivery month, respectively, as its underlying index, and the HBP Winter NYMEX(R) Crude Oil ETF and HBP Winter NYMEX(R) Natural Gas ETF will use the NYMEX(R) light sweet crude oil futures contract for the next December delivery month, and the NYMEX(R) natural gas futures contract for the next January delivery month, respectively, as its underlying index. Currently, the NYMEX(R) light sweet crude oil futures contract will be rolled each June to the next December futures contract and the NYMEX(R) natural gas futures contract will be rolled each November to the next January futures contract. The HBP Single ETFs are denominated in Canadian dollars. Any U.S. dollar gains or losses as a result of each HBP Single ETF's investment will be hedged back to the Canadian dollar to the best of the HBP Single ETF's ability.
