Ninepoint to Launch Anthropic HighShares ETF, Combining AI Growth Potential and Twice-Monthly Distributions

New ETF offers leveraged exposure to the company behind Claude with a covered call strategy designed to generate income

TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ninepoint Partners LP (“Ninepoint”), one of Canada’s leading investment management firms, is pleased to announce that it has filed, and obtained a receipt, for its final prospectus qualifying units of the Ninepoint Anthropic HighShares ETF (the “ETF” or “ANHI”). Subject to satisfying the TSX’s original listing requirements, the ETF is expected to begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the ticker ANHI the business day following the completion of an initial public offering by Anthropic, PBC (“Anthropic”), which is currently anticipated to occur on or about November 19, 2026.

The ETF combines leveraged exposure to Anthropic, the company behind Claude, with a professionally managed covered call strategy designed to generate income while maintaining exposure to the company's long-term growth potential. ANHI will offer a management fee of 0.29%.

“Anthropic’s upcoming public listing is an opportunity to invest directly in the company, and we anticipate strong interest from Canadians seeking TSX-listed exposure,” said Karl Cheong, CFA, Executive Vice President and Head of ETFs at Ninepoint Partners. “We designed ANHI to provide Canadian investors with a way to participate in Anthropic’s growth potential while seeking regular income through a covered call strategy.”

Investment Objective

Ninepoint Anthropic HighShares ETF seeks to provide securityholders with (i) long-term capital appreciation through purchasing and holding, on a levered basis, Class A common stock of Anthropic and (ii) regular cash distributions.

To pursue this objective, ANHI will hold up to 100% of its total assets, including assets acquired with borrowings, in Anthropic Class A common stock and write covered call options on up to 50% of those holdings. The covered call strategy will be reviewed monthly for cash flow sustainability.

Like other ETFs in the Ninepoint HighShares suite, ANHI intends to pay twice-monthly cash distributions.
