TORONTO, May 4, 2020 /CNW/ - Horizons ETFs Management
(Canada) Inc. (the
"Manager") announces that it will, effective as of
8am (EST) on May 5, 2020, resume the acceptance of new
subscriptions for shares of the BetaPro Crude Oil Daily Bull
ETF1 ("HOU") and the BetaPro Crude Oil -1x Daily
Bear ETF2 ("HOD", and together with HOU, the
"ETFs").
On April 21, 2020, the Manager
announced it was not accepting subscriptions for new shares of HOU
or HOD until further notice. Redemptions of shares have continued,
and will continue, to be accepted in the normal course. It is
imperative to note that units of HOU and HOD have been trading at a
substantial premium to their net asset value, and are expected to
continue to trade at a premium to their net asset value until the
resumption of new subscriptions on May 5,
2020. The Manager continues to strongly discourage investors
from purchasing shares of HOU and HOD until such time as the shares
are no longer trading at a premium to their net asset value, as a
result of the previously announced suspension of
subscriptions.
Both HOU and HOD have been trading since April 21, 2020, at prices that are not reflective
of their underlying net asset value. The Manager anticipates this
will persist until the resumption of subscriptions on May 5, 2020. Please visit the Manager's website
www.horizonsetfs.com to obtain the net asset value for the
ETFs.
A prospectus amendment that reflects the change set out above
will be filed following the date of this press release, and will be
available at www.sedar.com or the Manager's website at
www.horizonsetfs.com.
Investing in shares of the ETFs can be speculative, can involve
a high degree of risk and may only be suitable for persons who are
able to assume the risk of losing their entire investment.
Potential investors in these ETFs are reminded to read the
prospectus, as amended from time to time, and all information
available on www.sedar.com before investing. Investors should
continue to monitor their investment daily and, as previously
announced by the Manager, note that the ETFs are no longer expected
to achieve their stated investment objectives.
The Manager will advise as soon as there are any further
developments with respect to the ETFs.
