HCON ETF Analysis: Dividends, Returns TSX:HCON — TradingView

Analysis

Key stats

The fund is a fund-of-funds that aims for long-term capital growth using Horizons Total Return Index ETFs (TRI ETFs). The fund targets a 50% allocation to global equities and 50% allocation to North American government, provincial and corporate fixed income securities. The Canadian securities exposure will be 40% at minimum. HCON generally rebalances semi-annually in January and July wherein a portfolio optimization strategy will be employed to select the weightings of TRI ETFs that maximizes risk-adjusted returns. It is worth noting that the fund invests in TRI ETFs that uses derivatives to provide the returns of the index they track (a synthetic exposure) instead of owning the securities directly. Specifically, it uses Total Return Swaps with one or more bank counterparties. HCON will also use currency forwards at all times to hedge its non-Canadian dollar currency exposure to the Canadian dollar.
