Get the Total Return of Investment Grade Canadian Bonds

Key Features
• The Total Return Index Advantage: HBB is a part of the Horizons Total Return Index family of ETFs (“Horizons TRI ETFs”).

• Tax Efficiency: HBB is not expected to make taxable distributions
• Automatic Reinvestment: The reinvestment of Index constituent distributions are reflected in HBB’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) on their ex-date – which can result in more efficient compounding than ETFs that compound only quarterly or monthly
Investment Objective

The Solactive Canadian Select Universe Bond Index (Total Return) is designed to measure the performance of the Canadian investment-grade fixed income market.
