Horizons ETFs Offers U.S. Dollar Trading of BetaPro NASDAQ-100® -2x Daily Bear ETF

20/06/19 - 12:00 am

TORONTO – June 20, 2019 – Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. (“Horizons ETFs”) is pleased to announce the listing of BetaPro NASDAQ-100® -2x Daily Bear ETF (the “ETF”) in U.S. dollars, providing Canadian investors with the option of investing in the ETF using Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars.

Class A Units of the ETF begin trading in U.S. dollars (the “US$ Units”) on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) tomorrow morning, June 21, 2019, under the symbol HQD.U. Class A Units of the ETF will continue to trade in Canadian dollars (the “Cdn$ Units”) under the symbol HQD.

The ETF seeks daily investment results, before fees, expenses, distributions, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, that endeavour to correspond to two times (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index® . Any U.S. dollar gains or losses as a result of the ETF’s investment will be hedged back to the Canadian dollar to the best of the ETF’s ability. The ETF does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.

HQD and HQD.U are two trading symbols for the same exchange traded fund, and they share the same CUSIP number. There is no difference in the underlying exposure of Cdn$ Units and US$ Units. The only difference is the currency they trade in.
