HLPR
Gain Tax-Efficient Exposure to Canadian Preferred Shares
Generally issued by large, well-stablished companies, preferred shares are securities that include characteristics of both bonds and equities. Horizons Laddered Canadian Preferred Share Index ETF (HLPR) provides exposure to preferred shares that generally have an adjustable dividend rate and are laddered using equal weights in annual reset term buckets.
Key Features
• The TRI advantage: HLPR is part of Horizons ETFs Total Return Index (TRI) family of ETFs. HLPR uses a total return swap contract to replicate the performance of the Index. This structure typically reduces the cost and tracking error associated with replicating an index and increases tax efficiency
• Tax-efficient access: HLPR is not expected to make taxable distributions
• Automatic reinvestment: The reinvestment of index constituent distributions are reflected in HLPR’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
HLPR seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the Solactive Laddered Canadian Preferred Share Index (Total Return), net of expenses. The Solactive Laddered Canadian Preferred Share Index (Total Return) is an index of Canadian preferred shares that generally have an adjustable dividend rate.
