“HPYG represents a new way to access the gold complex, from exposure to bullion to access to the world's premier gold producers, while generating high monthly cash distributions through our active options strategy.” said Michael Kovacs, CEO of Harvest. “Harvest has always believed that income and growth don't have to be a perfect trade-off, and HPYG is an expression of that philosophy applied to one of the world's most enduring asset classes.”

Distribution Announcement

HPYG will pay monthly distribution and the first monthly distribution of $0.14 per Class A Unit will be paid on or about August 6, 2026 to unitholders of record on July 31, 2026 with an ex-dividend date of July 31, 2026.

Investment Objective

HPYG will seek to provide Unitholders with (i) the opportunity for capital appreciation (ii) monthly cash distributions; and (iii) lower overall volatility of portfolio returns than would otherwise be experienced by owning securities of portfolio securities directly.

You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell units of the investment fund. If the units are purchased or sold, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying units 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 units 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, Class B or Class U 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.
