Hamilton Canadian Financials Yield Maximizer ETF (HMAX.TO)
About this ETF
The fund seeks to deliver attractive monthly income through a market cap-weighted portfolio of the top 10 TSX-listed Canadian financial services stocks by market cap. It may also invest in other securities, including other funds for direct or indirect exposure to the same securities. The portfolio is reconstituted and rebalanced semi-annually. In addition, the fund actively manages a covered call option writing program to mitigate downside risk and generate income. The strategy allows to write at or slightly out-of-the-money call options on up to 100% of the portfolios value. The covered call options must be traded on a North American stock exchange or through over-the counter options. The amount of option premiums is partly determined by the expected price volatility…
