Distributions for Horizons Enhanced Income US Equity (USD)
ETF are declared and paid in U.S. dollars, including those listed
under the Canadian dollar traded tickers HEA and HEA.A. The
approximate Canadian dollar equivalent distribution rates for HEA
and HEA.A are $0.07455 per unit and $0.06523 per unit,
respectively. For unitholders who hold Canadian dollar traded HEA
and HEA.A, distribution payments will typically be converted to
Canadian dollars by the unitholder's account holder.
|
Each ETF does not have a fixed distribution but pays
distributions monthly. Distribution rates are generally based on
the average current volatility of the securities held by the ETF,
along with any dividend income received, less expenses payable by
the ETF. The amount of monthly cash distributions are expected to
fluctuate from month to month and there can be no assurance that an
ETF will make any distributions in any particular month or months.
Monthly distributions will be paid in cash, unless the investor has
chosen to participate in the ETF's reinvestment plan.
