Global X Launches New Small-Cap and Bitcoin ETFs on Cboe Canada
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 30, 2025--
Today, Cboe Canada Inc. (' Cboe Canada ') is pleased to announce the launch of three new ETFs from Global X Investments Canada Inc. (' Global X '). Now trading on Cboe Canada under the symbols RSCL, BCCC, and BCCL, the new funds offer access to small-cap U.S. equities and bitcoin.
'With the launch of Global X Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCC) and Global X Enhanced Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCL), investors now have two ways to gain exposure to the price of Bitcoin, with the benefit of twice monthly distributions – a first in the Canadian marketplace,' said Chris McHaney, Executive Vice President, Investment Management & Strategy at Global X. 'We've seen significant demand for investments that can deliver consistently for Canadians, as well as a continued appetite for cryptocurrency-focused ETFs. With that in mind, we're excited to bring these new ETFs onto Cboe and continue building on our track record of innovation.'
The new Global X ETFs are as follows:
Global X Enhanced Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF - ( RSCL ) seeks to provide exposure to small-capitalization U.S. equities by tracking the performance of the Russel 2000 RIC Capped Index and seeks to provide high monthly distributions of dividend income and call option premiums. To generate premiums, RSCL engages in a dynamic covered call option writing program.
Global X Bitcoin Covered Call ETF - ( BCCC ) is designed to provide exposure to the performance of bitcoin and distributions of call option premiums. BCCC primarily invests, directly or indirectly, in exchange traded funds that provide exposure to bitcoin. BCCC will also write covered call options on up to 50% of the option eligible securities held in the portfolio of the fund to provide semi-monthly distributions and will not hedge foreign currency exposure.
Global X Enhanced Bitcoin Covered Call ETF - ( BCCL ) is designed to provide exposure to the performance of bitcoin and high distributions of call option premiums. BCCL also employs leverage through cash borrowing and generally endeavours to maintain a leverage ratio of approximately 125%. BCCL anticipates that it will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing in securities of an exchange traded fund. BCCL will employ a dynamic covered call option writing program to generate semi-monthly distributions and mitigate downside risk. BCCL will not hedge its exposure to foreign currencies back to the Canadian dollar.
'It is our pleasure to welcome Global X back to Cboe Canada for another significant ETF launch,' said Victor Werny, Head of North American ETP Listings at Cboe Global Markets. 'Global X has consistently demonstrated leadership in creating accessible investment vehicles for sophisticated strategies and we look forward to strengthening our collaboration across Cboe's global footprint as they continue to bring new investment solutions to market.'

Better Ultra-High-Yield Dividend ETF to Buy for Passive Income: Global X SuperDividend ETF or JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF?
The Global X SuperDividend ETF has an 11.7% annualized dividend yield. The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF has a 7.4% yield based on its payments over the past year. The funds use two very different strategies to generate income for investors. 10 stocks we like better than Global X Funds - Global X SuperDividend ETF › Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) make it easy to start generating passive income. Several funds invest in income-generating assets or use strategies designed to produce income. Some of those investments can deliver very lucrative income for fund investors. The Global X SuperDividend ETF (NYSEMKT: SDIV) and the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSEMKT: JEPI) stand out for their high-income yields. Here's a closer look at the two dividend ETFs, which will help investors decide which is better for them to buy for passive income. The Global X SuperDividend ETF has a very simple strategy. The fund invests in 100 of the highest dividend-yielding securities in the world. Its global strategy opens the door for more high-yielding investment opportunities while helping reduce some risk by increasing the fund's diversification. The ETF distributes dividend income to its investors each month. That income has really added up over the past year as the fund has paid an eye-popping 11.7% yield. At that rate, every $1,000 invested in this ETF would produce about $117 of dividend income each year. However, the fund's distribution payments fluctuate based on the dividends paid by its holdings. Many of its holdings pay variable dividends because of the volatility of their cash flows. Furthermore, many higher-yielding dividend stocks have trouble maintaining their dividend payments due to financial challenges. Because of that, the fund's payments have trended down throughout its 13-year history: Another potential pitfall is that stocks with higher dividend yields don't tend to offer much in the way of price appreciation since the dividend payment typically makes up the bulk of its return. Because of that, the fund has delivered an average annual return of negative 1% since its inception. That lackluster return is because the high-yielding dividends paid by the fund haven't been able to offset the loss in value of the underlying dividend-paying stocks. However, the fund has performed much better in recent years, delivering an 8.2% return over the past year and a 4.5% annualized return over the last five. The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF has a dual objective. The ETF aims to generate income it can distribute to investors each month and provide equity market exposure with less volatility. It does that through a two-pronged investment strategy: Disciplined options overlay strategy: The fund's managers write out-of-the-money (i.e., above the current market price) call options on the S&P 500 index. By selling or shorting options, the fund collects the option premium (value of the option) as income. It distributes the income produced by this strategy each month. Defensive equity portfolio: The ETF also holds a portfolio of stocks selected by the fund's managers based on fundamental research and its proprietary risk-adjusted stock rankings. The ETF's options-writing strategy can be very lucrative. It has a 7.4% yield based on income distributions paid out over the past 12 months. However, the options income it generates can vary from month to month: In addition to income, the fund strives to provide investors with less volatile exposure to the upside of stocks in the S&P 500. This strategy has enabled it to produce an attractive total return when combining the options income with a rising value in the ETF's price. Since its inception in May 2020, the fund has produced an average annual total return of 11.4%. While the Global X SuperDividend ETF provides investors with a higher current income yield, the JPMorgan Equity Premium ETF has a higher total return potential. Because of that, it's a better ETF to buy for passive income. It should supply investors with lucrative distributions each month, while the value of the fund should also rise, helping investors preserve and grow their wealth while they collect income.

Global X is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mirae Asset Financial Group, which manages more than $900 billion of assets across 19 countries and global markets around the world. Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be associated with an investment in products (the "Global X Funds") managed by Global X Investments Canada Inc. The Global X Funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated. Certain Global X Funds may have exposure to leveraged investment techniques that magnify gains and losses which may result in greater volatility in value and could be subject to aggressive investment risk and price volatility risk. Such risks are described in the prospectus. The Global X Money Market Funds are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the money market fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the Funds will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the Global X Funds. Please read the relevant prospectus before investing. The payment of distributions, if any, is not guaranteed and may fluctuate at any time. The payment of distributions should not be confused with an exchange traded fund's ("ETF") performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the ETF are greater than the performance of the ETF, distributions paid may include a return of capital and an investor's original investment will decrease. A return of capital is not taxable to the investor but will generally reduce the adjusted cost base of the securities held for tax purposes. Distributions are paid as a result of capital gains realized by an ETF, and income and dividends earned by an ETF are taxable to the investor in the year they are paid. The investor's adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If the investor's adjusted cost base goes below zero, investors will realize capital gains equal to the amount below zero. Future distribution dates may be amended at any time. To recognize that these distributions have been allocated to investors for tax purposes the amounts of these distributions should be added to the adjusted cost base of the units held. The characterization of distributions, if any, for tax purposes, (such as dividends/other income/capital gains, etc.) will not be known for certain until after the ETF's tax year-end. Therefore, investors will be informed of the tax characterization after year-end and not with each distribution if any. For tax purposes, these amounts will be reported annually by brokers on official tax statements. Please refer to the applicable ETF distribution policy in the prospectus for more information. The Global X Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCC) and the Global X Enhanced Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCL) are each exchange traded alternative mutual funds that invest in other alternative mutual funds that invest, directly or indirectly, in Bitcoin. There are inherent risks associated with products linked to crypto assets, including Bitcoin Futures. While Bitcoin Futures are traded on a regulated exchange and cleared by regulated central counterparties, direct or indirect exposure to the high level of risk of Bitcoin Futures will not be suitable for all types of investors. Given the speculative nature of bitcoin and the volatility of the digital currency markets, there is no assurance that BCCC or BCCL will be able to meet their respective investment objectives. An investment in BCCC or BCCL is not intended as a complete investment program and is appropriate only for investors who have a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin and the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.
