Global X Equal Weight Canadian Banks Index Corporate Class ETF

HEWB

Reasons to Consider HEWB

Broad Exposure to Canadian Banking

HEWB offers investors exposure to Canada’s six largest banks, commonly referred to as the “Big Six” including 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).

Equal Weight Approach

By allocating an equal weight to each security, HEWB allows investors to diversify their exposure within the banking sector, mitigating concentration risk associated with individual bank performance.

Tax Efficiency

Part of the Global X Total Return Index family of ETFs, HEWB’s usage of a total return swap contract to replicate index performance typically increases tax efficiency. Further, HEWB is not expected to make taxable distributions, making it potentially advantageous for taxable accounts.

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.
