Purpose Investments Debuts Yield Shares, the World’s First Yield-Focused Single-Stock ETFs
20 Dezembro 2022 - 9:30AM
Purpose Investments Inc. (“Purpose Investments”), a modern
investment firm known for its globally innovative, client-centric
products, is excited to announce the launch of Yield Shares by
Purpose (“Yield Shares”), as described in the table below, the
world’s first yield-focused single-stock ETFs, which will begin
trading today on the NEO Exchange Inc.
Yield Shares by Purpose are designed to offer
investors a new tool to maximize yield in their portfolios. With
Yield Shares, investors will earn enhanced monthly distribution
yield through an investment in funds holding some of the world’s
most widely held stocks, such as Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and
Tesla, while maintaining exposure to the underlying individual
stock’s performance.
“It’s a turbulent economic environment right
now, and with Yield Shares by Purpose, we’re excited to offer
Canadians the opportunity to get exposure to individual stocks like
Tesla and Apple and receive enhanced monthly distributions while
being invested in them,” says Vlad Tasevski, Chief Operating
Officer and Head of Product.
Today, Purpose Investments is launching the
following five Yield Shares (the “Initial Yield Shares”):

Yield Shares are designed to provide investors
with the following benefits:
- Monthly Distribution
Yield: Investors will be able earn an enhanced monthly
yield from their individual stock exposure in excess of any
dividends declared on the underlying stock where applicable.
- Exposure to Underlying Individual Stocks:
Benefit from the long-term growth potential of underlying stocks of
companies like Amazon and Tesla.
- Investment in U.S.
Companies Denominated in Canadian Dollars: Canadians will
be able to get exposure to individual U.S. stocks through an
investment denominated in Canadian dollars that hedges the U.S.
dollar currency exposure.
- Tax Efficiency:
Yield generated by the covered call strategy will be tax efficient
in the form of capital gains.
These unique Canadian-dollar-denominated Yield
Shares by Purpose will seek to generate distribution yield above
any dividends payable on the underlying stock by implementing
covered call option strategies (targeted at 50%) and moderate
leverage (targeted at a maximum of 25% of net asset value) to earn
enhanced monthly yield on sought-after global companies. Yield
Shares will provide investors with a different risk-return profile
compared to investing in the underlying stocks directly and can be
used as additional tools to customize their portfolios.
