TORONTO, June 14, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hamilton Capital Partners Inc. ("Hamilton ETFs") is pleased to announce the launch of the Hamilton Utilities Yield Maximizer ETF ("UMAX").

UMAX has closed the offering of its initial Class E units. Units of the ETF will begin trading on Thursday, June 15, 2023 on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the ticker symbol "UMAX".

"We are excited to introduce our latest yield maximizer ETF, UMAX, for investors seeking higher monthly income.
