About Horizons ETFs Management
(Canada)
Inc. (www.HorizonsETFs.com)
Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. is an innovative financial
services company and offers one of the largest suites of exchange
traded funds in Canada. The
Horizons ETFs product family includes a broadly diversified range
of solutions for investors of all experience levels to meet their
investment objectives in a variety of market conditions. Horizons
ETFs has more than $30 billion of
assets under management and 117 ETFs listed on major Canadian stock
exchanges. Horizons ETFs is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mirae
Asset Financial Group, which manages approximately $710 billion of assets across 19 global markets
around the world.
Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be
associated with an investment in the Horizons Exchange Traded
Products managed by Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. The Horizons Exchange Traded
Products are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and
past performance may not be repeated. The prospectus contains
important detailed information about the Horizons Exchange Traded
Products. Please read the relevant prospectus before
investing. Investment funds are not covered by the
Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
deposit insurer.
The payment of distributions, if any, is not guaranteed and
may fluctuate at any time. The payment of distributions should not
be confused with an Exchange Traded Fund's ("ETF") performance,
rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the ETF are
greater than the performance of the ETF, distributions paid may
include a return of capital and an investor's original investment
will decrease. A return of capital is not taxable to the
investor, but will generally reduce the adjusted cost base of the
securities held for tax purposes. Distributions are paid as a
result of capital gains realized by an ETF, and income and
dividends earned by an ETF are taxable to the investor in the year
they are paid. The investor's adjusted cost base will be reduced by
the amount of any returns of capital. If the investor's adjusted
cost base goes below zero, investors will realize capital gains
equal to the amount below zero. Future distribution dates may be
amended at any time. To recognize that these distributions have
been allocated to investors for tax purposes the amounts of these
distributions should be added to the adjusted cost base of the
units held. The characterization of distributions, if any, for tax
purposes, (such as dividends/other income/capital gains, etc.) will
not be known for certain until after the ETF's tax year-end.
Therefore, investors will be informed of the tax characterization
after year-end and not with each distribution if any. For tax
purposes, these amounts will be reported annually by brokers on
official tax statements. Please refer to the applicable ETF
distribution policy in the prospectus for more information.
