Ninepoint Announces August 22 Launch Date for its Single-Stock High Income ETFs Focused on Iconic Canadian Companies

• Ninepoint HighShares ETFs give investors a new way to seek high monthly income from individual Canadian blue-chip stocks
• Management fees for all ETFs in the suite are waived until February 28 2026

TORONTO, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ninepoint Partners LP (“Ninepoint”), one of Canada’s leading alternative investment management firms, today announced that after receiving regulatory approval, its innovative suite of Ninepoint HighShares ETFs will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on August 22, 2025, subject to satisfying the TSX’s original listing requirements. Designed for investors who want more from their Canadian blue-chip stocks, Ninepoint HighShares ETFs combine direct exposure to market-leading companies with a professionally managed covered call strategy, seeking to boost monthly income and delivering it directly to investors.

"We’re incredibly excited to get these ETFs into the hands of Canadian investors,” said John Wilson, Co-CEO and Managing Partner at Ninepoint. “We believe with Ninepoint HighShares ETFs, investors can tap into a simple, tax-efficient solution designed to generate more income from Canadian blue-chip stocks.”

Each Ninepoint HighShares ETF is built around one well-known Canadian company offering investors the ability to target a single stock or diversify across sectors like banking, energy, infrastructure, telecom, and precious metals. Starting at just $10 per share, the Ninepoint HighShares ETFs are accessible to all investors and provide a low-cost entry point to some of Canada’s most iconic companies.

To seek to maximize cash flow, each ETF uses a covered call strategy managed by Ninepoint’s in-house options experts in order to generate income from option premiums, then distributes that income directly to shareholders.

Key benefits of the Ninepoint HighShares ETF suite include:

• Low Management Fees: 0% management fees until February 28, 2026, and 0.29% thereafter.
• Higher Monthly Yield: Designed to generate more income than simply holding the underlying stock alone.
• Tax-Efficient Distributions: Paid in the form of Canadian eligible dividends, capital gains, or return of capital, which are typically taxed more favourably than interest income.
  

“For years, Canadian investors have been asking for a way to turn their conviction in great Canadian companies into dependable monthly income - we think HighShares can deliver exactly that,” said Karl Cheong, Executive Vice President and Head of ETFs at Ninepoint. “We’ve taken the stocks Canadians already know, trust, and often own, and added a professionally managed income strategy, at a very low management fee. Whether it’s our global banks, resource leaders, or homegrown tech champions, we think HighShares ETFs can be a smart, tax-efficient way to seek to grow wealth and boost monthly income."

Ninepoint’s initial HighShares ETF suite includes:

All Ninepoint HighShares ETFs are DRIP eligible so investors can automatically reinvest payouts to grow their holdings over time. For more information on the full range of Ninepoint investment solutions, please visit www.ninepoint.com.
