TORONTO – October 15, 2020 – Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. (“Horizons ETFs”) has announced a change to the risk rating applicable to the Horizons ReSolve Adaptive Asset Allocation ETF (“HRAA”). The change in risk rating is effective immediately and is detailed in the table below:
| ETF | Ticker | Previous Risk Rating | New Risk Rating |
| Horizons ReSolve Adaptive Asset Allocation ETF | HRAA | High | Medium to High |
The investment risk level of an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) such as HRAA is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the ETF, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the ETF. If an ETF has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the ETF is calculated using the return history of the ETF, and, for the remainder of the 10 year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the ETF.
No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of HRAA as a result of the changes to the risk ratings. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, investment objectives and strategies of HRAA can be found in HRAA’s most recently filed prospectus.
