Harvest ETFs ("Harvest") has commenced trading for its Harvest International High Income Shares ETF on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the ticker symbol HHII, providing Canadian investors with access to levered international equity exposure paired with an active covered call strategy. The listing follows the completion of the initial offering of Class A Units pursuant to a prospectus dated June 10, 2026, filed with securities regulatory authorities across Canadian provinces and territories. This launch addresses a gap in domestic portfolios, which are typically underweight in leading international businesses, by offering a single CAD-denominated vehicle that targets monthly cash flow generation alongside capital appreciation potential.

Michael Kovacs, CEO of Harvest, stated that the fund is designed to simplify access to global growth while delivering usable cash flow through option premiums. "HHII gives Canadians a diversified slice of leading international businesses that Canadian portfolios are typically underweight," Kovacs said. "Pairing that exposure with an active covered call strategy and modest leverage is our way of turning global growth potential into cash flow investors can actually use, month to month." He added that the goal was to create a straightforward basket of international companies that generates monthly distributions, a simplicity advisors have requested.

Distribution Schedule

HHII will pay monthly distributions to unitholders. The first distribution event is structured as follows:

Investors must hold units on the record date to be eligible for the distribution. Distributions are paid in cash unless investors elect to participate in a distribution reinvestment plan, in which case amounts are reinvested into additional units of the fund.

Investment Strategy and Objective

The Harvest International High Income Shares ETF seeks to provide high monthly cash distributions and the opportunity for capital appreciation by investing, directly or indirectly, on a levered basis in a portfolio of publicly listed international equities. To achieve lower overall volatility of portfolio returns and generate monthly premiums, HHII writes covered call options on the securities held in its portfolio. The fund may also purchase put options on exchange traded mutual funds for hedging purposes. The level of option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

The fund holds a multi-sector portfolio capturing international companies positioned for strong growth. It combines income generation with exposure to leading international businesses across various sectors. Harvest Portfolios Group Inc., founded in 2009, manages over $12 billion in assets for Canadian investors and specializes in covered call strategies across equity, fixed income, and multi-asset categories.
