  20. The Effects of Compounding and Rebalancing • HBP ETFs offer 200% exposure with limited risk • Daily rebalancing ensures that the notional exposure is equal to 2x the net assets of the fund at the end of each day • This process limits the investors’ risk to their capital invested. • In a trending market, “profits” increase exposure, “losses” reduce exposure resulting in a convex return pattern

  23. The Effects of Compounding and Rebalancing

  24. The effects of volatility on performance: • The greater the volatility, the greater the deviation from 2x the period return of the underlying benchmark (no rebalancing). Bull+ ETFs Bear+ ETFs

  26. HBP Rebalancing Tool: • If an investor would like to minimize the effects of compounding and have their investment track more closely to 2x/-2x the PERIOD return of the underlying benchmark the investor should rebalance their holdings. • More frequent rebalancing will result in period investment returns more closely matching 2x/-2x the benchmark. • Rebalancing consideration is more important if volatility in the underlying index is higher and anticipated hold period is longer.

  27. Horizons BetaPro Commodity ETFs: • The initial HBP Commodity ETFs track: • NYMEX Crude Oil • NYMEX Natural Gas • COMEX Gold Bullion • DJ-AIG Grains Sub-IndexSM (soybeans, corn and wheat) • All HBP Commodity ETFs reference the nearby future contract of each of the respective commodities. • All existing US dollar exposure is hedged back to Canadian dollars. • None of the HBP Commodity ETFs hold the physical commodity as in most cases storage is not economical or operationally fluid enough to offer small unitized exposure.

  28. Horizons BetaPro Commodity ETFs • HBP NYMEX® Crude Oil Bull+ and Bear+ ETFs: • Track nearby futures contract for NYMEX West Texas Intermediate Crude as priced at Cushing, Oklahoma • Rolled at beginning of each month over three days • HBP NYMEX® Natural Gas Bull+ and Bear+ ETFs: • Track nearby futures contract for NYMEX Natural Gas based on delivery at the Henry Hub in Louisiana • Rolled at beginning of each month over three days • HBP COMEX® Gold Bullion Bull+ and Bear+ ETFs: • Track nearby futures contract for COMEX Division gold • Rolled at the beginning of each month over three days • HBP DJ-AIGSM Agricultural Grains Bull+ and Bear+ ETFs: • Tracks the DJ-AIG Sub Grains IndexSM, a subset of DJ-AIG Agriculture Index, which is a subset of the DJ-AIG Commodity IndexSM • 2008 Weightings: • Soybeans 42.39% • Corn 31.47% • Wheat 26.14%
