Horizons Enhanced Income US Equity (USD) ETF
Overview
USCC.U seeks to provide: (a) exposure to the performance of the large cap market segment of the U.S. equity market and (b) monthly U.S. dollar distributions of dividend and call option income. To mitigate downside risk and generate income, USCC.U will employ a dynamic covered call option writing program. USCC.U will not seek to hedge its exposure to the U.S. dollar back to the Canadian dollar. HEA.U invests primarily in a portfolio of equity and equity related securities of U.S. companies that, as at the Constituent Reset Date (see below), are amongst the largest by market capitalization and most liquid issuers on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) or the NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ). To mitigate downside risk and generate income, the ETFs investment manager actively manages a covered call strategy that generally writes out of the money covered call options on up to 100% of the portfolio securities.
