Chief Financial Officer: Robert J. Schauer
Corporate Secretary: Karen Shalovsky
Incorporation: The ETF is a mutual fund established as a trust under the laws of the Province of Ontario on January 11, 2010 pursuant to a master declaration of trust as may be amended from time to time.
Manager and Trustee: Jones Heward Investment Counsel Inc.
Fiscal Year End: December 31
Nature of Business: The ETF seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of an equal weight utilities companies index, net of expenses. Currently, the ETF seeks to replicate the performance of the Dow Jones Canada Select Equal Weight Utilities Index. The Manager may, in its discretion and without unitholder approval, change the Dow Jones Canada Select Equal Weight Utilities Index to another widely recognized equal weight utilities companies index in order to provide investors with exposure to an equal weight utilities companies index. If the Manager changes the Dow Jones Canada Select Equal Weight Utilities Index, or any index replacing such Index, the Manager will issue a press release identifying the new index. The investment strategy of the ETF is currently to invest and hold the Constituent Securities of the Dow Jones Canada Select Equal Weight Utilities Index in the same proportion as they are reflected in the Dow Jones Canada Select Equal Weight Utilities Index or hold securities intended to replicate the performance of the Index. The Manager may also use a sampling methodology in selecting investments for the ETF. As an alternative to or in conjunction with investing in and holding the Constituent Securities, the ETF may invest in or use certain Other Securities to obtain exposure to the performance of the Dow Jones Canada Select Equal Weight Utilities Index.
Transfer Agent & Registrar: CIBC Mellon Trust Company at its principal office in Toronto.
Distributions: Any cash distributions of income on Units of the ETF will generally be made quarterly, if at all, and are expected to consist primarily of dividends or distributions, including interest income, received by the ETF less the expenses of the ETF. To the extent that the expenses of the ETF exceed the income generated by such ETF in any given quarter, no quarterly distribution will be paid.
Initial Issuance of Units: Pursuant to the terms of the Prospectus, Units will be issued and sold on a continuous basis and there will be no maximum number of Units that may be issued. Units sold in connection with the initial public offering for the ETF will amount to 400,000 Units at a price of $15 per Unit.
