Horizons US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond CAD Hedged ETF (HTH:TSX) ETF Snapshot Name: Horizons US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond CAD Hedged ETF Launch Date: September 20, 2016 CUSIP: 44053M105 Ticker: HTH Management Fee:1 0.15% (does not include a swap fee of approximately 5 bps) Underlying Index: Solactive US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond CAD Hedged Index (Total Return) Bloomberg Index Ticker: SOLUTB Investment Manager: Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. Distribution Frequency: HTH is not expected to make distributions Eligibility: All registered and non-registered investment accounts Currency Hedge: Yes Low-cost, Tax-Efficient Exposure to U.S. Treasuries Horizons US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond CAD Hedged ETF (HTH) seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the Solactive US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond CAD Hedged Index (Total Return), net of expenses. The Solactive US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond CAD Hedged Index (Total Return) is designed to measure the performance of the US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond market, hedged to the Canadian dollar. Reduce Taxes, Increase Returns Taxes charged on interest income from U.S. bond exposure can often erode returns, especially when interest rates are low. However, by investing in mid-term U.S. treasuries using HTH, investors can ensure they are receiving the total compounded return of the index, without the usual tax consequences that can occur from investing in the asset class directly. Key Features of HTH: • Low cost: HTH has a low management fee of only 0.15% • The TRI advantage: HTH is part of Horizons’ Total Return Index (“TRI”) Family of ETFs. HTH uses a total return swap contract to replicate the performance of the Solactive US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond CAD Hedged Index (Total Return). This structure typically reduces the cost and tracking error* associated with replicating an index and increases tax efficiency • Tax efficient: HTH is not expected to make taxable distributions • Hedged exposure: Get Canadian currency-hedged** exposure to the US 7-10 year treasury market • Higher compound growth: The reinvestment of index distributions are reflected in HTH’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) *HTH would be expected to have some additional tracking error associated with the currency hedging mechanics of the ETF. **Horizons ETFs also offers a non-hedged version of this fund, available under the ticker symbol HTB. Tax Advantages HTH does not directly receive any distributions from the index constituents and is therefore not expected to make any distributions. Investors who hold HTH still get full exposure to the total return of the Index through its TRI structure, but the value of any distributed income is reflected in the ETF’s net asset value (NAV) rather than being received into the ETF as cash and then paid out as taxable distributions. For instance, an Ontario-based investor in the fourth highest marginal tax bracket for the 2016 tax year would generally be required to pay 46.41% tax on each distribution received from U.S. treasuries. Typically, HTH unitholders would not be subject to this taxation. Plus sales taxes. 1 Innovation is our capital. Make it yours. http://www.HorizonsETFs.com Horizons US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond CAD Hedged ETF (HTH:TSX) Taxation on U.S. Bond ETFs The after-tax yield of a bond portfolio is a crucial component of total return, particularly in an environment of low interest rates and tight spreads between government and corporate debt. The following hypothetical example highlights the after-tax performance of holding HTH versus a physically replicated bond ETF in a non-registered account. The example assumes both ETFs reflect a net yield of 2%. It is important to note that neither HTH, nor any of the other TRI ETFs offered by Horizons ETFs, re-characterize the investment income earned from their swap agreements as capital gains. Tax Implications for Holding a TRI Bond ETF in Non-Registered Accounts Physically Replicated Bond ETF HTH Using a Total Return Swap Principal Investment $100,000 $100,000 Market Return (0%) $0 $0 Constituent Distributions (2.0%) $2,000 $2,000 Pre-Tax Total Portfolio Value $102,000 $102,000 Taxes on Distributions (46.41%) $928.20 $0 Total Taxes Payable $928.20 $0 Total After-Tax Portfolio Return $101,071.80 $102,000 Difference in Return -$928.20 Return Loss due to Tax on Distributions -0.93% 0% For Illustrative Purposes Only. The above illustrative example highlights the expected after-tax performance benefits of holding a TRI Bond ETF versus another Canadian domiciled physically replicated Bond ETF in a non-registered account, assuming both ETFs earned/reflected a net 2% interest income and track the exact same universe of bonds. This example does not take into account any fees or expenses of the ETFs, or any commissions, fees, or expenses that would be associated with the purchase or sale of units of the ETFs or any hedging expenses. Both ETFs are held by an Ontario resident investor in the fourth highest tax bracket, who would have a marginal tax rate of 46.41% in 2016. The example does not contemplate the sale of the ETF units or any tax liability that would result. It also assumes no change in the market value of the index constituents.
