About Global X S&P 500 Index Corporate Class ETF
The Global X S&P 500 Index Corporate Class ETF (HXS.TO), formerly Horizons S&P 500 Index ETF, tracks the S&P 500 using a swap-based (total return) structure. Unlike traditional ETFs, HXS does NOT pay distributions — instead, all returns (including dividends) are reflected in the share price through the swap. This makes it highly tax-efficient in non-registered accounts, as investors defer taxes until they sell. HXS is CAD-hedged, meaning it neutralizes USD/CAD currency fluctuations. MER is 0.10%. It is the preferred S&P 500 ETF for tax-conscious Canadian investors holding in taxable accounts.

- -CAD-hedged means no benefit when USD strengthens (unlike unhedged VFV).
- -No distributions means no regular cash income — unsuitable for income-seeking investors.
- -Tax-efficiency advantage only applies in non-registered accounts; no benefit in RRSP/TFSA.
HXS is the tax-efficiency king for S&P 500 exposure in taxable Canadian accounts. Swap-based, CAD-hedged, 0.10% MER, zero distributions. Not ideal for registered accounts where VFV or ZSP may be better.
