CARB
Canada's First Carbon Credits ETF
One of the most interesting investment asset classes in the last decade are carbon credits. Carbon credits can provide unique exposure to an asset class that historically has low correlation to equity markets and is designed explicitly as a financial tool to help reduce global carbon emissions. The Horizons Carbon Credits ETF, which trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker CARB, will give investors exposure to this asset class in one ETF that will invest in carbon credit futures of developed markets that offer them.
Key Features
• Carbon Credit Exposure: Canada’s first ETF that provides exposure to carbon credits through futures contracts or derivative instruments
• Growing Global Demand: Carbon credits can potentially benefit from increased demand to meet carbon credit allowances
Investment Objective
CARB seeks to replicate, to the extent possible and net of expenses, the performance of an index that seeks to provide exposure to investments in cap-and-trade carbon allowances. Currently, the ETF seeks to replicate the performance of the Horizons Carbon Credits Rolling Futures Index (Excess Return), net of expenses.
CARB seeks to hedge any non-Canadian dollar portfolio exposure back to the Canadian dollar at all times. As a result, the returns of the ETF are expected to differ from those of the of its Underlying Index, which does not include currency hedging.
