TORONTO, Nov. 18 /CNW/ - Jovian Capital Corporation ("Jovian") (JOV: TSX) and its subsidiary AlphaPro Management Inc. ("AlphaPro") are pleased to announce the launch of the Horizons AlphaPro Seasonal Rotation ETF (the "ETF") which will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on November 20, 2009, under the symbol HAC. Jovian is also pleased to announce that Don Vialoux, CMT, and Brooke Thackray, CFP, CIM, have joined subsidiary JovInvestment Management Inc.

"We are pleased that Don and Brooke have chosen AlphaPro to implement their distinctive investment strategies," said Ken McCord, President of AlphaPro. "Investors now have the means to access the leading analysts in this unique field within an actively managed ETF and to benefit from their seasonal rotation strategy."

AlphaPro is the manager and trustee of the ETF and its affiliate JovInvestment is the investment manager of the ETF, responsible for portfolio management. JovInvestment will use the disciplined research of Brooke Thackray and Don Vialoux to seek to gain exposure to the performance of markets and sectors that at various times of the year have historically performed favourably.

"I am excited to have this opportunity to combine my experience in seasonal rotation analysis with the benefits of ETF investing," said Brooke Thackray, analyst for JovInvestment and author of Thackray's 2010 Investor's Guide.

"I look forward to introducing our seasonal rotation strategies to investors through the AlphaPro ETF structure," said Don Vialoux, analyst for JovInvestment and author of the online newsletter [ www.timingthemarket.ca ].
