02/11/21 - 12:00 am

TORONTO – November, 2, 2021 – Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. (“Horizons ETFs”) has lowered the management fee of the Horizons Equal Weight Canada Banks Index ETF (“HEWB” or the “ETF”).

The below change was effective as of the close of business on November 1, 2021:

ETF: Horizons Equal Weight Canada Banks Index ETF
Ticker: HEWB
Previous Management Fee*: 0.30%
New Management Fee*: 0.25%

*Plus applicable sales tax

The investment objective of the ETF remains unchanged. HEWB seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the Solactive Equal Weight Canada Banks Index (Total Return) (the “Index”), net of expenses.  The Index is an equally-weighted basket of the equity securities of the six largest Canadian banks.

HEWB is part of Horizons ETFs family of Total Return Index (“TRI”) ETFs.  All of the Horizons TRI ETFs are part of a single, multi-class corporate structure, which permits the ETFs to improve operational efficiency, aggregate all future gains and losses on both the income and capital accounts and substantially reduce the likelihood of distributions.
