Evolve Files Preliminary Prospectus For Clean Energy Fund
TORONTO, March 1, 2021 /CNW/ - Evolve Funds Group Inc. ("Evolve") is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for the Evolve Clean Energy Fund ("WATT"). WATT is designed to provide investors with exposure to companies with business operations in the field of clean energy.
"When we launched the first automotive innovation ETF (TSX: CARS) over three years ago we believed there was a growing shift towards electric vehicles driven by demand for a cleaner environment," says Raj Lala, President and CEO, at Evolve. "We are now pleased to be expanding on this via our dedicated clean energy fund."
WATT seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the Solactive Low Emission Technology Index, while mitigating downside risk. WATT invests primarily in equity securities of companies located domestically or internationally that have business operations in the field of clean energy, while writing covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio securities, at the discretion of Evolve. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.
The Solactive Low Emission Technology Index measures the performance of equity securities of companies that are located in developed markets. All eligible securities that meet certain criteria are ranked based on their share class market capitalization in a descending order. Top 50 securities by share class market capitalization rank are selected for Index inclusion with exposure to each security capped at 7.5% and rebalanced quarterly. The Index will be published in Canadian dollars.
WATT is offering the following units:
