Horizons ETFs receives awards for Best Canadian Fixed Income ETF1, Best Canadian Short-term Fixed Income ETF1 and the Best Bond ETF Group2
TORONTO, Nov. 8, 2018 /CNW/ - Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. ("Horizons ETFs") is proud to announce that two of its exchange traded funds ("ETFs") won "best" in their respective ETF categories1 at the 2018 Thomson Reuters Lipper Fund Awards ("Lipper Fund Awards"). In addition, Horizons ETFs also won a Canada ETF Award in the Best Bond ETF Group category2.
The following ETFs won individual awards:
ETF Name | Ticker | Lipper Fund Awards | Award |
Horizons Active CDN Bond ETF | HAD | Canadian Fixed Income ETF | 3 Years |
Horizons Active CDN Bond ETF | HAD | Canadian Fixed Income ETF | 5 Years |
Horizons Active Floating Rate Bond ETF | HFR | Canadian Short-Term Fixed | 3 Years |
"We're very proud of our Lipper wins for these two ETFs that continue to deliver exceptional performance relative to their peer group over their respective three and five-year periods," said Steve Hawkins, President and Co-CEO of Horizons ETFs. "We've long advocated that an active approach in fixed income investing can offer consistent outperformance in Canadian fixed income so it's very gratifying to see these two actively managed ETFs earn this recognition from Lipper."
The Lipper Fund Awards are calculated based on a comparison with other ETFs in the same Canadian Investment Funds Standards Committee ("CIFSC") category. The 2018 Lipper Fund Awards are given to funds for delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers, for various time periods ending July 31, 2018.
HAD received the 2018 Lipper Fund Award in the Canadian Fixed Income category1 for the three-year period ending July 31, 2018 – ranking first out of 12 ETFs eligible for consideration. HAD won the same award for the five-year period ending July 31, 2018, ranking first among 10 ETFs.
"Generating outperformance in Canadian investment-grade bonds can be quite difficult. The Fiera Capital team, led by portfolio manager Christopher Laurie, have done a fantastic job actively managing HAD," said Mr. Hawkins. "A lot of this outperformance comes from the tactical allocation of the portfolio's interest rate exposure, which is a key driver of returns in this space," Mr. Hawkins added.
HFR received the 2018 Lipper Fund Award in the Canadian Short-Term Fixed Income category1 for the three-year period ending July 31, 2018 – ranking first out of 21 ETFs eligible for consideration.
"HFR continues to be one of our best-selling ETFs and now represents more than $700 million in assets under management," said Mr. Hawkins. "With interest rates continuing to rise, investors are looking for ETF solutions that can preserve capital while increasing yield. HFR's unique interest rate overlay structure has allowed it to raise its yield over the last year, while keeping its duration and market value in check, unlike many other mid and long-duration fixed income strategies.
Horizons ETFs also won the Lipper Award for Best Bond ETF Asset Group2 for the three-year period ending July 31, 2018. This award is based on risk-adjusted performance for the following ETFs: the Horizons Active Cdn Municipal Bond ETF (HMP), Horizons Active Cdn Bond ETF (HAD), Horizons Active Corporate Bond ETF (HAB), Horizons Active Emerging Markets Bond ETF (HEMB), Horizons Active Floating Rate Bond ETF (HFR), Horizons Active Floating Rate Senior Loan ETF (HSL), Horizons Active High Yield Bond ETF (HYI), Horizons Active US Floating Rate Bond (USD) ETF (HUF), Horizons Cdn Select Universe Bond ETF (HBB), Horizons US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond CAD Hedged ETF (HTH) and the Horizons US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (HTB).
"We're extremely proud of our family of fixed income ETFs and their return track records," said Mr. Hawkins. "These ETFs, which include both active and passive mandates, cover a wide breadth of strategies, so that investors have choices when building an income-focused ETF portfolio that can help them meet their specific fixed-income objectives."
