Ninepoint HighShares ETFs Offer Investors a New Way to Seek High Monthly Income from Canadian Blue-Chip Stocks

Strategic Insights -

Ninepoint Partners LP, one of Canada's leading alternative investment management firms, has launched its innovative suite of Ninepoint HighShares ETFs, designed to provide investors with a low-cost, tax-efficient way to seek high monthly income from Canadian blue-chip stocks. The ETFs combine direct exposure to market-leading companies with a professionally managed covered call strategy, aiming to boost monthly income and deliver it directly to investors.

Key Takeaways:

  • Ninepoint HighShares ETFs will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on August 22, 2025, subject to satisfying the TSX's original listing requirements.
  • The ETFs are designed for investors who want more from their Canadian blue-chip stocks, with a focus on generating high monthly income and providing tax-efficient distributions.
  • Each ETF is built around one well-known Canadian company, offering investors the ability to target a single stock or diversify across sectors such as banking, energy, infrastructure, telecom, and precious metals.
  • The ETFs use a covered call strategy managed by Ninepoint's in-house options experts to generate income from option premiums and distribute it directly to shareholders.
  • Key benefits include low management fees (0% until February 28, 2026, and 0.29% thereafter), higher monthly yield, and tax-efficient distributions paid in the form of Canadian eligible dividends, capital gains, or return of capital.
  • Ninepoint's initial HighShares ETF suite includes nine ETFs, covering various sectors and single stocks, and is DRIP eligible, allowing investors to automatically reinvest payouts to grow their holdings over time.
  • The ETFs do not have a fixed distribution amount, and the amount of distributions may fluctuate and there can be no assurance that the ETFs will make any distribution in any particular period or periods.
  • Results or events may differ from current expectations, and although Ninepoint believes the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.
