Horizons switches 12 commodity ETFs to Solactive indices

Horizons ETFs has decided to switch 12 of its commodity funds to Solactive indices.

According to Horizons, despite the change in indices, each ETFs will still track a specified futures contract and will provide investors with an identical exposure to the applicable asset class to which the ETF is currently exposed. The firm asserts, however, that this will be achieved in a more cost efficient and transparent manner. There will be no change to the futures contract roll methodologies currently employed by the ETFs.

Additionally, there will be no change to the ETFs’ names, objectives, or fee structures.
