June 4, 2025 – Toronto
Hamilton ETFs has announced the filing of a preliminary prospectus for a new lineup of exchange traded funds set to break new ground in the Canadian investment landscape. The DayMAX™ suite will mark Canada’s first ETFs to incorporate zero days to expiration (0DTE) options—ultra-short-term derivatives that reset daily—in an effort to generate consistent, high-frequency income.
Pending regulatory approvals, the DayMAX™ ETFs—CDAY, SDAY, and QDAY—will offer investors access to actively managed equity exposure enhanced by a daily option-writing strategy and modest 25% leverage. The goal: to deliver meaningful income while maintaining exposure to Canadian, U.S., and technology equities.
“We’re proud to introduce Canada’s first suite of ETFs using 0DTE options with our DayMAX™ lineup – CDAY, SDAY, and QDAY – giving income-focused investors a new way to generate higher and more frequent cash flow. By writing daily call options and employing modest 25% leverage, DayMAX™ ETFs aim to deliver attractive premium income, broad equity exposure, and the potential to benefit from overnight market gains,” said Pat Sommerville, Senior Partner and Co-President at Hamilton ETFs.
Inside the DayMAX™ Lineup
Each ETF in the proposed DayMAX™ suite is designed to provide exposure to a distinct equity segment while applying the same 0DTE strategy:
- Hamilton Enhanced Canadian Equity DayMAX™ ETF (CDAY): Focused primarily on Canadian equities, CDAY seeks to enhance income using a daily call option strategy across its North American holdings.
- Hamilton Enhanced U.S. Equity DayMAX™ ETF (SDAY): Targeting U.S. equities, SDAY applies the same ultra-short-term options overlay to generate yield and augment core equity exposure.
- Hamilton Enhanced Technology DayMAX™ ETF (QDAY): Concentrated on U.S. technology equities, QDAY blends growth-sector exposure with a 0DTE income approach.
Hamilton ETFs will seek conditional approval for listing these ETFs on the Toronto Stock Exchange under their respective tickers.
The preliminary prospectus dated June 3, 2025, containing important information relating to the 0DTE ETFs, has been filed with the securities commissions or similar authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. A copy of the preliminary prospectus is available on www.sedarplus.ca. Prospective investors cannot buy units of the 0DTE ETFs until the relevant securities commissions or similar authorities issue receipts for the final prospectus of the 0DTE ETFs and the 0DTE ETFs begin trading on the TSX.
