Manulife Investment Management Returns to Cboe Canada for Launch of New Yield Focused ETFs

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Cboe Canada Inc. (“Cboe Canada”) is pleased to welcome back Manulife Investment Management as they launch two yield focused ETFs, which will trade on Cboe Canada under the symbols CYLD and UYLD.

The new funds are designed to provide consistent income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in dividend paying securities and related derivative instruments selected using a proprietary dividend screen. The Manulife Smart Enhanced Yield ETF (CYLD) invests in Canadian securities, while the Manulife Smart U.S. Enhanced Yield ETF invests in U.S. listed securities and is offered in hedged (UYLD), unhedged (UYLD.B), and USD units (UYLD.U).

“We’re excited to grow our ETF lineup with two new solutions for investors looking for income and long-term capital appreciation,” said Mark Bankay, Head of ETFs, Manulife Investment Management. “Utilizing a proprietary call-put strategy, the Manulife Smart Enhanced Yield ETF and Manulife Smart U.S. Enhanced Yield ETF can be useful solutions for advisors and individual investors alike to gain some equity exposure upside while mitigating downside market risks. And we’re excited to list these ETFs on Cboe Canada—they continue to be an innovator and advocate within the Canadian ETF industry.”

CYLD and UYLD join two Manulife ETFs already trading on Cboe Canada. Investors can trade units of all Manulife Investment Management ETFs through their usual investment channels, including discount brokerage platforms and full-service dealers.
