Horizons Active Emerging Markets Dividend ETF - HAJ

ETF Overview

The investment objective of Horizons HAJ is to seek long-term returns consisting of regular dividend income and modest long-term capital growth.

Horizons HAJ invests primarily in equity and equity related securities of companies with operations in emerging market economies.

To achieve Horizons HAJ's investment objectives, the ETF's Sub-Advisor selects high quality dividend paying companies from different sectors located, or with a significant presence, in emerging economies, which in its view, demonstrate the potential for growth and consistent dividends.

The portfolio investments are diversified among countries with emerging economies which offer the prospect of higher returns and faster economic growth measured through GDP.

Horizons HAJ may hedge some or all of its non-Canadian dollar currency exposure at the discretion of the Sub-Advisor.

To achieve its investment objective, the Sub-Advisor primarily invests in equity securities listed on North American exchanges including American Deposit Receipts (ADRs) and may also from time to time invest in preferred and fixed-income securities such as government bonds, corporate bonds or treasury bills.

The Sub-Advisor may sell short equity securities it believes will underperform on a relative basis or to otherwise assist the ETF in meeting its investment objectives.
