Toronto-based HAHN Investment Stewards & Co. Inc. has launched a new exchange-traded fund (ETF). The Special Opportunities Focus ETF Portfolio is a global asset-allocation product designed for both individual and institutional investors. The new portfolio will be managed by HAHN’s investment committee, including Wilfred Hahn and Tyler Mordy, co-chief investment officers with HAHN. The new portfolio, says HAHN, aims to earn absolute returns with a low correlation to traditional balanced portfolios and will be positioned to navigate a world of slow growth in the Western economies, significant market volatility, recurring balance-sheet issues and continued income and wealth convergence of the emerging world with the developed world. HAHN will continue to use “opportunity” ETFs from its portfolio lineup, which consist of ETFs that present timely and more attractive risk/reward profiles than those available in traditional asset classes. In total, HAHN offers six globally diversified ETF strategies. Minimum investment for the new portfolio is $5,000.
