TORONTO, Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Purpose Investments Inc. ("Purpose Investments") is excited to announce the addition of two new single-stock ETFs to its Yield Shares by Purpose ("Yield Shares") suite of funds: the Meta (META) Yield Shares Purpose ETF (Cboe ticker: YMET) and the AMD (AMD) Yield Shares Purpose ETF (Cboe ticker: YAMD). These latest additions to the industry-leading Yield Shares suite reflect increasing client interest and Purpose's commitment to offering innovative and outcome-oriented investment products for investors seeking both income and growth opportunities.
Key Benefits:
- Monthly Distribution: Investors receive an enhanced* monthly income in addition to any dividends from the underlying stock.
- Growth Potential: Investors can participate in the long-term growth potential of Meta and AMD, respectively – companies at the forefront of technological innovation.
- Reduced Volatility: The options strategy employed by these ETFs aims to provide a cushion against a decline in stock prices.
- Tax Efficiency: The covered call strategy used by these ETFs generates income in a tax-efficient manner, primarily as capital gains.
- Currency Hedging: Canadian investors can gain exposure to U.S. stocks through an investment denominated in Canadian dollars to help protect them from changes in the value of the U.S. dollar.
Yield Shares ETFs are designed to cater to the growing investor demand for monthly income while offering an opportunity to capitalize on the long-term growth potential of leading global technology companies. These two additions will provide investors exposure to AMD and Meta, respectively, two companies leading the charge in pivotal areas of technology:
- Meta is transforming the future of social interaction and virtual economies. As the digital landscape shifts towards immersive experiences, Meta's leadership in the metaverse and its investment in AI tools position it to be a driving force behind the next evolution of online connectivity.
- AMD, a leader in high-performance computing and rival to NVIDIA, is shaping the future of semiconductors and powering breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and cloud technology. Its next-gen processors are integral to the rapid advancements in AI-driven applications across industries, from healthcare to finance.
These ETFs focus on holding a single underlying stock (e.g., Meta or AMD), implementing a covered call strategy, and applying moderate leverage to generate monthly tax-efficient income. This combination of strategies seeks a unique blend of growth – driven by the performance of the underlying stock – and income collected from option premiums. As a result, investors may benefit from both capital appreciation and steady income, making Yield Shares a unique investment option for income seekers, growth-oriented, and long-term investors.
"Since launching in 2022, Yield Shares by Purpose have become a popular choice for investors seeking monthly distributions while gaining exposure to the world's leading companies. Due to strong client demand, we're excited to expand our Yield Shares suite with these new Yield Shares, providing investors with a unique opportunity to access Meta's and AMD's high-growth potential while benefitting from monthly tax-efficient distributions," says Vlad Tasevski, Head of Asset Management at Purpose. "These companies are leaders in key growth sectors driving global innovation. Meta is reshaping social interaction, virtual reality, and digital economies, setting the foundation for our digital future. AMD, a leader in semiconductor technology, powers next-generation computing across AI and cloud infrastructure. With these new Yield Shares, we're delivering a unique blend of growth and yield potential, empowering investors to harness the growth momentum of these industry giants."
