OAKVILLE, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 19, 2025-- 

Harvest Portfolios Group Inc. ("Harvest", "Harvest ETFs") is pleased to announce the completion of the initial offering of Class A Units of the Harvest High Income Equity Shares ETF ("HHIH") pursuant to a prospectus dated August 12, 2025, filed with the securities regulatory authorities in all of the Canadian provinces and territories. The Class A Units of the Harvest High Income Equity Shares ETF will commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") today under the following ticker symbol: HHIH:TSX.

HHIH provides un-levered access to the growth potential of a portfolio of leading and trending US stocks that are generally similar to the underlying single stocks held in the ETFs within the portfolio of the Harvest Diversified High Income Shares ETF (HHIS:TSX) with an active covered call strategy designed to generate high monthly cash distributions.

"We're excited to add this new investor offering to complement the proven success of HHIS on an unlevered basis," said Michael Kovacs, President and CEO of Harvest ETFs. "HHIH is designed to capture a diverse selection of companies positioned for strong growth while delivering high levels of monthly cash distributions for investors through our covered call option strategy. For over 15 years, Harvest has been committed to bringing innovative growth and high-income investment opportunities to the Canadian investors."

Distribution Announcement

HHIH will pay a variable monthly distribution and the first monthly distribution of $0.185 per Class A Unit will be paid on or about October 9, 2025 to unitholders of record on September 29, 2025 with an ex-dividend date of September 29, 2025.

Investment Objective

HHIH will seek to provide Unitholders with (i) high monthly cash distributions; (ii) the opportunity for capital appreciation; and (iii) lower overall volatility of portfolio returns than would otherwise be experienced by owning the portfolio securities of HHIH directly. To achieve lower overall volatility of returns, the HHIH will generally write covered call options on up to 50% of the equity securities held directly by the HHIH or invest in exchange traded mutual funds managed by the Manager that (i) invest in single equity securities, and (ii) engage in covered call strategies. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell shares of the investment fund on the TSX. If the shares are purchased or sold on the TSX, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying shares of the investment fund and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them. There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of an investment fund. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. An investment fund must prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the investment fund. You can find more detailed information about the investment fund in these documents.

Distributions are paid to you in cash unless you request, pursuant to your participation in a distribution reinvestment plan, that they be reinvested into Class A units of the Fund. If the Fund earns less than the amounts distributed, the difference is a return of capital. Tax, investment and all other decisions should be made with guidance from a qualified professional.
