Frequently Asked Questions

Ninepoint HighShares ETFs invest in one well-known Canadian company, like RBC or Shopify, and use option strategies to generate higher monthly income. Instead of diversifying across many stocks, they focus on a single name and aim to turn volatility into cash flow.

The fund-of-funds version invests in all of the individual Ninepoint HighShares ETFs (available as Ninepoint Enhanced Canadian Highshares ETF, TSX:ECHI). This provides investors with diversified exposure across multiple leading Canadian companies and sectors, while still applying the same option strategies designed to generate monthly income.

Income mainly comes from selling call options on the stock, which provides cash premiums paid out to investors. Dividends (if available) and some return of capital may also be included in the monthly payout.

Ninepoint HighShares ETFs borrow a modest amount (about 25%) to buy more of the stock, which boosts income potential. While this can increase returns, it also increases risk if the stock falls rapidly.

The biggest trade-off is that upside is capped—if the stock rises sharply, gains may be limited because of the covered call strategy. Investors also take on concentrated exposure to a single company, meaning results depend heavily on that one stock. Leverage can also increase income potential but also magnifies losses when markets move against you. Please see prospectus for a more detailed list of applicable risks.

They tend to work best in flat or range-bound markets where volatility supports steady income. In strong rising markets they may lag the stock because gains are capped, and in downturns they can lose value—especially when volatility is low and option income is reduced.

In registered accounts like TFSAs and RRSPs, income is tax-sheltered. In taxable accounts, most income is taxed as capital gains (favourable), though some is classified as return of capital, which reduces your cost base over time.

Payouts are not guaranteed—they depend on volatility and market conditions. While yields can look attractive, investors should focus on total return (income plus changes in value) rather than yield alone.

Ninepoint HighShares ETFs are best suited for investors with a preference for yield. They are meant to complement—not replace—direct stock ownership, providing extra monthly income while still allowing some upside participation. Depending on market conditions, investors can adjust their mix between stock and HighShares ETFs to balance growth and cash flow. Investors should always consult their financial/tax advisor for investment suitability.

Currently, Ninepoint HighShares ETFs have the lowest management fee in the category—and that fee is waived until February 28, 2026. After that, investors should also be aware of normal trading costs, bid-ask spreads, and, for enhanced versions, borrowing costs from leverage.

Ninepoint HighShares trade on the TSX under ticker symbols (current tickers are: ABHI, BCHI, CCHI, CQHI, CRHI, ENHI, RYHI, SHHI, SUHI, TDHI, ECHI) and can be bought through any brokerage account. Most brokerages also allow distributions to be reinvested automatically through DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment Plan) plans.

The ETFs do not have a fixed distribution amount. The amount of monthly distributions may fluctuate monthly, quarterly or annually, as applicable, and there can be no assurance that the ETFs will make any distribution in any particular period or periods. The amount of ordinary cash distributions, if any, will be based on the Manager’s assessment of the prevailing market conditions. The amount of distributions may vary if there are changes in any of the factors that affect the net cash flow on the portfolio of an ETF, including the amount of leverage employed by the ETFs. The amount and date of any ordinary cash distributions of the ETFs will be announced in advance by issuance of a press release. Subject to compliance with the investment objectives of the ETFs, the Manager may, in its complete discretion, change the frequency of these distributions and any such change will be announced by press release. Each ETF intends to pay monthly distributions based on its ability to generate monthly cash flows from writing covered call options and any dividends received on the Portfolio Securities held in such ETF’s portfolio, as applicable. The Manager will review the level of distributions for each ETF on a quarterly basis to consider the sustainability of such distributions.
