BetaPro Management Inc. Announces No Capital Gains Distributions for 2009

TORONTO , Dec. 23 /CNW/ - BetaPro Management Inc. ("BetaPro"), the trustee and manager of the Horizons BetaPro Exchange Traded Funds (the "HBP ETFs"), announced today that there are no capital gains distributions payable from any of the ETFs for the 2009 calendar year.

Each of the HBP ETFs is required to distribute any net income and capital gains that it has earned in the year. After consideration of the applicable capital gains refund mechanism allowances and other tax considerations, none of the HBP ETFs are in a position to require such distributions.

"As we anticipated, all 38 of the HBP ETFs had no capital gains distributions, allowing us to continue to deliver tax efficiency to our investors, one of the main advantages of ETFs," said Howard Atkinson , President of BetaPro Management Inc. "This is the third consecutive year that we posted zero capital gains distributions across our entire family of ETFs."
