There are no changes to the index methodologies of, or constituents of, the above-noted underlying indices resulting from the index name changes.
A prospectus that reflects the changes set out above will be filed following the date of this press release, and will be available at www.sedar.com or the Manager’s website at www.horizonsetfs.com.
“Each ETF’s name change reflects a recent change in name of its underlying index,” said Steve Hawkins, President and CEO of Horizons ETFs. “In the case of BKCH, the vast majority of index constituents through 2019 were comprised of semiconductor and IT services companies that are integral to the infrastructure of the larger global big data trend, as well as blockchain. In the case of HOG, while it is still investing in midstream oil and gas companies, these companies are now more commonly known to investors as pipeline and energy services companies.”
There are no changes to the management fees of HBGD and HOG. HBGD is also available in a U.S. dollar version under ticker symbol “HBGD.U.”
