HEWB

Horizons Equal Weight Canada Banks Index ETF

Get the Total Return of Canadian Banks

Horizons Equal Weight Canada Banks Index ETF (HEWB) provides equal-weight exposure to Canada’s six largest banks, commonly referred to as the “Big Six”. These include: Royal Bank of Canada (RBC); Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD); Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank); Bank of Montreal (BMO); Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and National Bank of Canada (National Bank).

Key Features

• The Total Return Index Advantage: HEWB is part of Horizons Total Return Index family of ETFs (Horizons TRI ETFs). HEWB uses a total return swap contract to replicate the performance of the Index. This structure typically reduces tracking error associated with replicating an index and increases tax efficiency
• Tax Efficiency: HEWB is not expected to make taxable distributions, making it advantageous for taxable accounts
• Automatic reinvestment: The reinvestment of index constituent distributions are reflected in HEWB’s Net Asset Value (NAV) on their ex-date – which can result in more efficient compounding than ETFs that compound only quarterly or even monthly

Investment Objective

HEWB seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the Solactive Equal Weight Canada Banks Index (Total Return), net of expenses. The Solactive Equal Weight Canada Banks Index (Total Return) is an equal weight index of equity securities of diversified Canadian banks.
