UTIL
Gain Exposure to Dividends From Canadian Utility Companies
Horizons Canadian Utility Services High Dividend Index ETF (UTIL) is an dividend-focused ETF that offers investors exposure to Canadian utility service companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).
With UTIL, investors can gain exposure to three major segments of the utility services sector: utilities, pipelines and telecommunications, which have historically functioned as defensive industries, offering investors relative stability and consistent dividends, even during periods of volatility and bear markets.
Key Features
• Targeted exposure to high dividend paying Canadian utility service companies listed on the TSX
• Goes beyond traditional Utilities exposure to include Pipelines and Telecom companies
• Historically, the utility service sector has been considered a defensive investment because it can potentially provide consistent dividends and stability throughout all market cycle conditions
• The UTIL Index will employ minimum yield requirements for companies to be eligible for inclusion within its Index
Investment Objective
UTIL seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of an index that seeks to provide exposure to the performance of TSX-listed high dividend paying utility services companies. Currently, UTIL seeks to replicate the performance of the Solactive Canadian Utility Services High Dividend Index, net of expenses.
