Claymore Launches First Ever Inverse Government of Canada Bond ETF
TORONTO, June 29 /CNW/ - Claymore Investments, Inc., a leading provider
of intelligent exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") in Canada, is pleased to
announce the launch of the Claymore Inverse 10 Yr Government Bond ETF
(CIB:TSX).
The Claymore Inverse 10 Yr Government Bond ETF has been designed to
replicate the inverse (opposite) of the daily total return before fees,
expenses, and transaction costs of the 10 Year Government of Canada Bond
on a non-leveraged basis (1:1 ratio of the assets to notional exposure).
"As we eventually move into a rising rate environment in Canada,
investors will need tools to help manage their fixed income exposure for
both the near and long term." said Som Seif, President & CEO of Claymore
Investments, Inc. "The Claymore Inverse 10 Yr Government Bond ETF is a
tool for investors who are looking to hedge against potential effects of
rising interest rates, without necessarily having to sell their current
bond investments. This launch is part of our commitment to provide
intelligent, low cost, and efficient investment solutions for investors."
The 10 Year Government of Canada Bond means any bond(s) issued by the
Government of Canada (exclusive of any Crown Corporations, Provincial
bonds or Municipal bonds) consisting of semi-annual pay fixed rate bonds
denominated in Canadian dollars originally issued at 10 year auctions,
with an effective term to maturity of 8 - 10 1/2 years, a credit rating
of at least BBB and minimum issue size of $3.5 billion.
