글로벌 X, 캐나다 투자자 대상 컨빅션 주식 노출 33% 증대 파워스톡 ETF 출시

Six ETFs target 1.33x stock exposure with no personal margin account required TORONTO, Oct. 14, 2026 /CNW/ -- Global X Investments Canada Inc. ("Global X" or the "Manager") is pleased to announce the launch of PowerStock ETFs (the "PowerStock ETFs"), a new suite of lightly-leveraged single-stock ETFs that offer Canadians the ability to increase their investment exposure to individual companies they believe in for the long term, without the need for margin. Units of the ETFs begin trading today on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). Global X's initial PowerStock lineup offers enhanced exposure to six companies that have captured investors' attention around the world: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, NVIDIA, SpaceX and Tesla. Each of the PowerStock ETFs seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by targeting 33% additional exposure to its underlying stock – approximately $133 of stock exposure for every $100 invested. The ETFs trade in Canadian dollars and hedge foreign currency exposure back to the Canadian dollar. This enhanced exposure magnifies movements in the underlying stock in both directions, meaning investors may experience larger gains or losses than they would from holding the stock directly. "Canadians with strong conviction in a company's long-term potential deserve more choice in how they invest," said Rohit Mehta, President and CEO of Global X. "Our PowerStock ETFs offer Canadians a straightforward way to add 33% more exposure through a single ETF purchase, without opening or managing a margin account. They also bring that exposure to registered accounts, including TFSAs and RRSPs, where investors cannot access margin." The PowerStock ETFs Built for growth with measured leverage PowerStock ETFs keep capital appreciation at the centre of their strategy. They do not write covered calls, preserving participation in the underlying stock's upside without the limitation that a covered-call overlay can potentially impose, particularly for companies with long-term growth potential. In addition, unlike some leveraged ETFs that target two or three times a stock's daily return, PowerStock ETFs use a more modest level of leverage and do not reset leverage daily. This approach is designed to give investors enhanced exposure to a company's long-term growth potential, while magnifying both gains and losses. "The amount of leverage matters, as does how it is managed," said Chris McHaney, Executive Vice President, Head of Investment Management & Strategy at Global X. "With PowerStock ETFs, we're targeting a measured increase in stock exposure for investors with a strong view of a company's long-term prospects. Greater upside exposure also means greater downside exposure. Investors need to be comfortable with larger swings in value and the possibility of larger losses than they would experience owning the stock directly." PowerStock ETFs build on Global X's experience using light leverage to provide enhanced market exposure. The firm's existing suite of index-based Enhanced ETFs spans 20 products and holds approximately $1.3 billion in assets under management. With PowerStocks, Global X is extending that approach to individual companies, giving investors another way to pursue long-term capital appreciation. Each PowerStock ETF is concentrated in a single company and does not provide diversification. Borrowing costs, fees, market conditions and changes in leverage affect returns. Investors should consider these ETFs within the context of their overall portfolio and monitor their holdings regularly. The ETFs closed their initial offering of units to their designated broker and will begin trading today on the TSX. For more information, please visit www.GlobalX.ca.

Certain ETFs are alternative investment funds ("Alternative ETFs") within the meaning of the National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds ("NI 81-102") and are permitted to use strategies generally prohibited by conventional mutual funds, such as the ability to invest more than 10% of their net asset value in securities of a single issuer, the ability to borrow cash, to short sell beyond the limits prescribed for conventional mutual funds and to employ leverage of up to 300% of net asset value. While these strategies will only be used in accordance with the investment objectives and strategies of the Alternative ETFs, during certain market conditions they may accelerate the risk that an investment in ETF Shares of such Alternative ETF decreases in value. The Alternative ETFs will comply with all requirements of NI 81-102, as such requirements may be modified by exemptive relief obtained on behalf of the ETF. The ETFs are open-end mutual funds established under the laws of Ontario. Each of the ETFs is an "alternative mutual fund" within the meaning of NI 81-102, and accordingly, is permitted to use strategies generally prohibited by conventional mutual funds, such as, the ability to invest more than 10% of the ETF's net asset value in securities of a single issuer, the ability to borrow cash, to employ leverage, and to make substantial investments in other alternative mutual funds. While these strategies will only be used in accordance with the applicable investment objectives and strategies of the ETFs, during certain market conditions they may accelerate the risk that an investment in Units of such ETFs decreases in value. Each ETF is concentrated and is non-diversified, meaning it is only exposed to a single Specified Public Issuer (as defined in the ETF's prospectus) compared to a typical exchange-traded fund, which has a diversified portfolio. As a result, the ETFs' assets are more susceptible to the impact of any specific company event or any single economic, technological, or regulatory event compared to a diversified portfolio.
