HAC
An ETF For All Seasons
Horizons Seasonal Rotation ETF (HAC) uses a proprietary, seasonal rotation investment strategy which seeks to deliver absolute returns in all market conditions. The strategy’s core position consists of broad markets at seasonally favourable times of the year, and money market securities at seasonally unfavourable times of the year.
Key Features
• Seeks to profit from seasonal periods which historically have generated positive returns for certain sectors
• Historically low correlation to broad equity markets
• Historical trends may not repeat, or may vary in timing or duration in certain years
Investment Objective
HAC seeks to provide long term capital appreciation in all market cycles by tactically allocating its exposure amongst equities, fixed income, commodities and currencies during periods that have historically demonstrated seasonal trends. HAC’s portfolio may from time to time also include a significant amount of cash and/or cash equivalents.
