Toronto | January 26, 2024 – Cboe Canada is pleased to welcome return issuer, BMO Asset Management Inc. (“BMO”), for the launch of a new structured outcome ETF. Now trading on Cboe Canada under the symbol ZJAN, the BMO US Equity Buffer Hedged to CAD ETF – January seeks to replicate the income and returns of the S&P 500 index up to a cap, while buffering against losses.
Aiming to provide investors with the income and appreciation (before fees, expenses, and taxes) of the S&P 500 up to a predetermined cap, ZJAN buffers against the first 15% (before fees, expenses, and taxes) of losses, resetting after a period of a year beginning and ending in January. ZJAN also hedges US dollar exposure back to Canadian dollars.
“BMO’s latest offering provides easy access to one of the most popular indexes in the market, with added buffer protection for investors. We are honoured that BMO has chosen to return to Cboe Canada as the listing partner for this launch,” remarked Erik Sloane, Chief Revenue Officer of Cboe Canada. “We are incredibly excited to see new products, particularly those with embedded optionality, continue to launch and gain traction on our markets.”
Investors can trade units of ZJAN through their usual investment channels, including discount brokerage platforms and full-service dealers. Click here for a complete view of all Cboe-listed securities.
