TORONTO, October 16, 2018 – Hamilton Capital today announced that the name of its exchange-traded fund, the Hamilton Capital Canadian Bank Dynamic-Weight ETF is, effective immediately, changed to the Hamilton Capital Canadian Bank Variable-Weight ETF (the “ETF” or “HCB”). Class E units for the ETF continue to trade under the ticker HCB on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
