Canada’s First Global Risk Parity ETFThe Horizons Global Risk Parity ETF (“HRA”) seeks long-term capital appreciation through the use of asset allocation. HRA will primarily use exchange traded products to gain exposure to a portfolio of global asset classes with a focus on the forecasted amount of risk that each investment contributes.
The Potential to Enhance Long-Term Returns with Risk ParityMost investors understand the benefits of diversification without truly appreciating how it is achieved in a portfolio. While a portfolio may be widely diversified across a number of asset classes, its risk profile might actually be highly concentrated.
HRA uses a portfolio allocation strategy, commonly known as Risk Parity – an approach that seeks to ensure that each asset class in the portfolio contributes an equal amount of risk, thus creating optimal portfolio diversification. This approach seeks to ensure that the correlations between various asset classes are reduced and the overall risk level of the portfolio remains balanced.
HRA will invest primarily in a portfolio of exchange traded funds to gain exposure to a wide array of asset classes that can perform in various economic conditions. These sectors include Global Equity markets, Global Fixed Income instruments and inflation hedges such as Gold Bullion, Real Estate and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”). HRA may hedge some or all of its non-Canadian dollar currency exposure at the discretion of the sub-advisor.
