“In these extraordinary times of heightened market volatility, Harvest is pleased to introduce two new Canadian Low Volatility ETFs to our line up,” said Michael Kovacs, President and CEO of Harvest. “Both of these portfolios focus on quality Canadian companies and generate income. The main difference between the two is the active call option writing strategy on HVOI to provide attractive monthly income.”

Investment Objectives

HVOL seeks to provide Unitholders with (i) the opportunity for capital appreciation and (ii) lower overall volatility of portfolio returns than is otherwise experienced by broadly owning Equity Securities of Canadian mid and large capitalization issuers directly.

HVOI seeks to provide Unitholders with (i) monthly cash distributions; (ii) the opportunity for capital appreciation; (iii) lower overall volatility of portfolio returns than is otherwise experienced by broadly owning Equity Securities of Canadian mid and large capitalization issuers directly; and (iv) further decreased volatility by writing covered call and/or covered put options on the securities in the Harvest Low Volatility Canadian Equity Income ETF’s portfolio. The level of option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

________________________________

You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell shares of the investment fund on the TSX. If the shares are purchased or sold on the TSX, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying shares of the investment fund and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them. There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of an investment fund. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Distributions are paid to you in cash unless you request, pursuant to your participation in a distribution reinvestment plan, that they be reinvested into Class A units of the Fund. If the Fund earns less than the amounts distributed, the difference is a return of capital. An investment fund must prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the investment fund. You can find more detailed information about the investment fund in these documents.
