Harvest ETFs Announces Risk Rating Changes for Certain Harvest ETFs

OAKVILLE, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Harvest Portfolios Group Inc. (“Harvest”) today announced updated risk ratings of the below exchange traded funds (the “Harvest ETFs”), effective September 23, 2026:

Harvest ETF	Ticker	Previous Risk Rating	New Risk Rating
Harvest Healthcare Leaders Enhanced Income ETF	HHLE	Medium to High	Medium
Harvest Premium Yield Treasury ETF (Class B Units)	HPYT.B	Low to Medium	Medium

The investment risk level of each Harvest ETF is required to be determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology that is based on the historical volatility of each Harvest ETF, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Harvest ETF. As the Harvest ETFs do not have at least 10 years of performance history, Harvest calculates the investment risk level of each Harvest ETF using a reference index that reasonably approximates the standard deviation of the Harvest ETF for the remainder of the 10-year period. The risk rating of each Harvest ETF is reviewed annually and anytime it is no longer reasonable in the circumstances.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of these Harvest ETFs as a result of the changes to the risk ratings.

You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell units of the investment fund on the TSX. If the units are purchased or sold on the TSX, 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. 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.
