BKCL
Canadian Big Six Bank Exposure
As one of Canada’s largest economic sectors, the Canadian Big Six Banks have traditionally offered a stable bastion within the broader Canadian equity landscape.
The Covered Call Advantage + Leverage
BKCL’s Underlying ETF (Horizons Equal Weight Canadian Bank Covered Call ETF) uses a dynamic call writing approach, which seeks to generate income and reduce downside risk. BKCL employs 1.25x leverage, which can potentially magnify performance, relative to the performance of the Underlying Index.
Light Leverage, Big Opportunities
Investment Objective: BKCL seeks to provide, to the extent reasonably possible and net of expenses: (a) exposure to the performance of an index of equal-weighted equity securities of diversified Canadian banks (currently, the Solactive Equal Weight Canada Banks Index); and (b) high monthly distributions of dividend and call option income. To generate income, BKCL will be exposed to a dynamic covered call option writing program.
BKCL will also employ leverage (not to exceed the limits on use of leverage described under “Investment Strategies” in the ETFs prospectus) through cash borrowing and will generally endeavour to maintain a leverage ratio of approximately 125%.
