Expanding its collaboration with Solactive, Hamilton ETFs recently launched a Hamilton Enhanced Mixed Asset ETF tracking the Solactive Hamilton Mixed Asset Index. This ETF offers investors a balanced mix of US equities, long-term US treasuries bonds and gold, three key assets that together help manage risk and return in uncertain markets.
In an increasingly volatile macroeconomic environment characterized by fluctuating interest rates and persistent inflationary pressures, diversified asset allocation has taken on renewed importance for investors seeking balanced performance across market cycles. The combination of the growth potential of the equity market, the stability of bond returns and the defensive characteristic of gold supports the goal of achieving more consistent returns in a variety of market conditions.
The Solactive Hamilton Mixed Asset Index is composed of three core components: the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index TR (60%), which tracks US large-cap equities; the Solactive US 20+ Year Treasury Bond Index (20%), which tracks long-term US treasury bonds; and the Solactive Gold Spot Index (20%). The index rebalances automatically when any of the asset classes deviates by more than 2% from its target weighting. This maintains the intended mix and minimizes unnecessary adjustments.
The ETF listed on 28th April on the Toronto Stock Exchange, with the ticker code MIX.
Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, commented: “In the face of increasing market complexity, the Solactive Hamilton Mixed Asset Index provides a timely and thoughtful allocation framework. By combining our established US equity and fixed income benchmarks with our innovative Gold Index, this multi-asset solution offers investors an accessible approach to portfolio diversification. We are pleased to build on our strong partnership with Hamilton ETFs with this new launch.”
Babak Assadi, Partner, Head of Product Strategy and Trading at Hamilton ETFs, commented: “We are excited to launch the Hamilton Enhanced Mixed Asset ETF (MIX), a modern all-in-one portfolio designed to deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns by combining equities, bonds, and gold. We would like to thank Solactive for their ongoing partnership and expertise in index construction.”
