Horizons Universa Canadian Black Swan ETF - HUT

ETF Overview

The investment objective of Horizons Universa Canadian Black Swan ETF ("Horizons HUT") is to provide unitholders with exposure to

Additional Fund Information

Horizons HUT To achieve its investment objective, Horizons HUT is at all times substantially invested in a portfolio of equity securities and/or index funds that will provide exposure to the S&P/TSX 60 Index.

Additionally, the Sub-Advisor has implemented the Cdn Black Swan Overlay in accordance with its proprietary methods to attempt to provide protection from significant market declines over rolling one-month periods.

The bulk of this protection comes in the form of long and short positions on put and call options on indices that track the performance of the S&P/TSX 60 Index or comparable North American equity indices.

The long put options will generally be significantly "out of the money", and should generate returns in the event of a significant decline in the S&P/TSX 60 Index.

The Sub-Advisor generally intends to re-initiate new option positions, or roll existing option positions, that make up the Cdn Black Swan Overlay each month and reinvest any gains from these activities into equity securities and/or index funds.

The Sub-Advisor also may, at its discretion, liquidate and establish new option positions in the Cdn Black Swan Overlay during a month, or liquidate option positions without establishing new positions.

The Cdn Black Swan Overlay only contains exchange-traded options.
