OAKVILLE, ON, May 9, 2022
/CNW/ - Harvest Portfolios Group Inc. ("Harvest") announces a
change to the monthly distribution amount from $0.0150 CAD per unit to $0.0250 CAD per unit for the Class A units of the
Harvest Energy Leaders Plus Income ETF (TSX: HPF) and from
$0.0150 USD per unit to $0.0250 USD per unit for the Class U units of the
Harvest Energy Leaders Plus Income ETF (TSX: HPF.U). The new
monthly distribution amount for both Class A units and Class U
units, taking effect for the July 29,
2022 record date, represents a current annual yield of
approximately 8.1% for Class A units and 6.9% for Class U
units.
The change to the distribution amount is intended to provide a
reasonable and sustainable distribution yield for unitholders of
both the Class A and Class U units of the Harvest Energy Leaders
Plus Income ETF while continuing to provide the opportunity for
long-term capital appreciation through exposure to an equally
weighted portfolio of 20 large global energy companies that engages
an active call strategy to enhance the monthly distribution.
"With the strong up turn in traditional energy prices we have
seen the profitability and hence dividends increase with many of
the major Energy companies. These changes are providing a much more
conducive environment to enhance distributions" says Michael Kovacs, President & CEO. "At
Harvest, we understand the value of income for investors in the
current interest rate environment and manage our Equity Income ETFs
in order to pay sustainable and regular monthly distributions".
