HBUG
Cybersecurity Flashpoint
Horizons GX Cybersecurity Index ETF (HBUG) provides exposure to companies positioned to benefit from the increasing adoption of cybersecurity technology, such as companies offering protection against intrusion and attacks on systems, networks, applications, computers and mobile devices.
Key Features
• High Growth Potential: Exposure to companies that are positioned to benefit from the rising importance and increased adoption of cybersecurity technology
• Long-Term Trend: Constant evolutions in technology leads to ongoing security concerns, potentially decades-long mega-trends in cybersecurity growth
• Go-Anywhere Approach: Transcend traditional sector, industry and geographic classifications by tracking an emerging theme
• Made for Canadians: Ideal exposure for Canadian investors that get USD currency-hedged exposure
• Global exposure: With limited exposure to cybersecurity companies in the Canadian equity market, HBUG provides globally diversified exposure to leading names in the industry
Investment Objective
HBUG seeks to replicate, to the extent possible and net of expenses, the performance of an index that is designed to provide exposure to the performance of global, publicly listed companies that stand to potentially benefit from the increased adoption of cybersecurity technology, such as those whose principal business is generally engaged in the development and management of security protocols preventing intrusion and attacks to systems, networks, applications, computers, and mobile devices. Currently, HBUG seeks to replicate, directly or indirectly, the performance of Indxx Cybersecurity Index, net of expenses, by investing primarily in the Global X Cybersecurity ETF. HBUG seeks to hedge any U.S. dollar portfolio exposure back to the Canadian dollar at all times.
