Hamilton Capital Announces Q4 2018 Distributions and Name Change for HCB

TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2018 /CNW/ - Hamilton Capital today announced that the name of its exchange-traded fund, the Hamilton Capital Canadian Bank Dynamic-Weight ETF is, effective immediately, changed to the Hamilton Capital Canadian Bank Variable-Weight ETF (the "ETF" or "HCB"). Class E units for the ETF continue to trade under the ticker HCB on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The investment objective of HCB, which is to generate long-term returns consisting of long-term capital growth as well as regular dividend income by investing in an equity portfolio of Canadian banks while employing a proprietary rules-based portfolio rebalancing methodology, remain unchanged.

Monthly Distributions

Hamilton Capital is also pleased to announce the monthly distributions for HCB for the fourth quarter of 2018.

The ex-dividend date for each month's distribution is indicated in the table below (column, "Ex-dividend date"), for all unitholders of record on the applicable date (in the table, "Record date"). The distributions will be paid in cash, or if the unitholder has enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP), reinvested in additional units of HCB, on or about the estimated pay date ("Pay date") indicated in the table.

Distributions will vary from period to period, and the December 2018 distribution may be amended higher in December in order to avoid HCB having a tax liability for 2018.
