New offering aims to provide Canadian
investors with options to meet evolving needs
TORONTO, Aug. 10, 2017 /CNW/ - WisdomTree Asset Management
Canada, Inc. ("WisdomTree Canada"), today announced that non-hedged
units of the WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Index ETF ("EHE") will
commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on
August 10, 2017 under the ticker
symbol EHE.B. WisdomTree Canada has completed the initial public
offering of the non-hedged units of the Fund.
EHE seeks to track the price and yield performance of the
WisdomTree Europe CAD-Hedged Equity Index, which is designed to
provide exposure to dividend paying European equities while hedging
exposure to fluctuations between the Euro and the Canadian dollar.
The non-hedged units, in contrast, will not be hedged back to the
Canadian dollar.
"There's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to
investing, so it's important that we provide investors with options
that meet their diverse and evolving needs. This is why we are
pleased to offer hedged, non-hedged and variably hedged currency
options for many of our international equity exposures. As a
proprietary index provider, we're fortunate to have the flexibility
to quickly innovate and expand our product set," said Kurt MacAlpine, WisdomTree Head of Global
Distribution. "This offering is the latest example of WisdomTree's
ongoing commitment to the Canadian marketplace."
WisdomTree's Canadian suite now consists of eight ETFs,
including hedged, non-hedged and variably hedged unit classes.
These products have provided Canadians with new investment
strategies through which to build and manage their portfolios and
have allowed them to access key international markets while
managing exposure to risks.
In June, WisdomTree launched a set of smart beta fixed income
ETFs that seek to increase yield for investors and help them
benefit from the diversification of a multi-sector portfolio
without an elevated risk profile – the WisdomTree Yield Enhanced
Canada Aggregate Bond Index ETF (TSX: CAGG) and the WisdomTree
Yield Enhanced Canada Short-Term Aggregate Bond Index ETF (TSX:
CAGS).
