The new Enhanced Equity Income ETFs each give investors access to an existing Harvest equity income ETF with a leverage component of approximately 25%. The addition of leverage enhances the annualized yield from the underlying ETF, and raises both the risk-return profile and the market growth prospects of the ETF.

"Harvest has a strong, established reputation for providing equity income ETFs to Canadian investors," said Harvest President & CEO Michael Kovacs. "The new Enhanced Equity Income ETFs build on that foundation, giving investors higher monthly income by investing in an established equity income ETF with the addition of modest leverage."

The ETFs names, tickers, and initial target yields are outlined below.

"These ETFs access the same portfolios of leading companies and active & flexible covered call strategies used in their underlying ETFs," Kovacs said. "But they come with a higher yield that many Canadian investors are demanding."

Investment Objectives

The Harvest Enhanced Equity Income ETFs' investment objectives are to provide Unitholders with high monthly cash distributions and the opportunity for capital appreciation by investing, on a levered basis, in an underlying Harvest Equity Income exchange traded mutual fund managed by the manager as specified by the prospectus.

The underlying ETFs' investment objectives are to provide unitholders with (i) the opportunity for capital appreciation; (ii) monthly cash distributions; and (iii) lower overall volatility of portfolio returns than would otherwise be experienced by owning Equity Securities of the specific ETF's investable universe directly. To achieve lower overall volatility of portfolio returns, the underlying ETFs will generally write covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio securities. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell shares of the investment fund on the TSX. If the shares are purchased or sold on the TSX, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying shares of the investment fund and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them. There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of an investment fund. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. An investment fund must prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the investment fund. You can find more detailed information about the investment fund in these documents.
