HARB.U
A Bond ETF That Can Tactically Change with the Market
Having an active fixed income strategy that has the flexibility to “go anywhere” to find investment opportunities might be more important than ever before. The Horizons Tactical Absolute Return Bond ETF (HARB) sub-advisor will adjust the positioning of the ETF portfolio to various fixed income strategies it believes offer the highest absolute risk-adjusted return profile over the course of the investment cycle.
Key Features
• A “Go Anywhere” Fixed Income Mandate ETF: HARB will seek to generate capital appreciation from decreasing spreads, falling yields and changes to credit quality, as well as protect capital and reduce drawdowns during periods of rising yields and widening spreads
• Diversification: HARB will have the full flexibility to tactically change the duration, credit and FX exposures to seek to generate positive risk-adjusted returns with reduced volatility and negative correlation to other asset classes
• An Experienced Sub-Advisor: Over 40 years of experience in running investment mandates covering the full spectrum of the fixed income universe
• Tax-Efficiency: The Total Return Series Shares are not expected to make taxable distributions, making them advantageous for taxable accounts where interest income is taxed at the full marginal income tax rate. The Dividend Series Shares is expected to pay out monthly distributions consisting of dividends and return of capital
Investment Objective
HARB seeks to provide positive absolute returns with low volatility over a market cycle regardless of market conditions or general market direction. The ETF will tactically take long and short positions in North American and global debt instruments and derivatives across the credit spectrum. In respect of the Dividend Series Shares, the ETF will also seek to provide consistent income.
HARB is an alternative mutual fund within the meaning of National instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, and is permitted to use strategies generally prohibited by conventional mutual funds and ETFs, such as borrowing cash, selling securities short, and employing leverage of up to 300%, amongst others. The use of these strategies may accelerate the risk associated with the ETF. The ETF is not guaranteed, its values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the ETF. Please read the prospectus and its risk disclosure before investing.
