TD Asset Management Inc. Streamlines Suite of all-in-one TD ETF Portfolio Solutions

TDAM's suite of ETF portfolio solutions offers investors one of the lowest costs in Canada

TORONTO, Sept. 1, 2023 /CNW/ - TD Asset Management Inc. ("TDAM"), the manager of the TD One-Click Suite of Exchange-Traded Funds (individually a "TD ETF", and collectively, the "TD ETFs"), today initiated changes to streamline the TD ETFs. The changes, announced July 28, 2023, include modifications to the composition of the TD ETFs, names and ticker symbols, and a reduction in the management fees. The TD ETFs identified below now trade under their new ticker symbols and offer one of the lowest management fees for all-in-one ETF portfolios in Canada.

The changes do not require any action on the part of investors. The change in names and ticker symbols will automatically be reflected in an investor's account and statements. The reduction in management fees is effective August 31, 2023, while the changes in the composition of the portfolios will be implemented over several days.

Portfolio changes

TDAM has simplified the composition of the TD ETFs by modifying the construction of the portfolios. The TD ETFs now generally invest in broad market index funds versus a mix of active and indexed ETFs, while still offering investors exposure to more than 2,500 companies. Streamlining the portfolio construction by investing in index ETFs allows TDAM to provide investors with broad market exposure while reducing the management fees on all three TD ETFs.

The TD ETFs will be rebalanced by the Passive Equity team lead by Laurie-Anne Davison, CFA, CAIA, Vice President & Director, Lead of Passive Investing, TDAM, previously managed by the Asset Allocation team. The benchmarks and target asset mix will remain unchanged and rebalancing to the target weights will occur on a quarterly basis.

Name changes of TD ETFs

The TD ETFs are now trading under the new ticker symbols, as set out in the table below:

Previous Ticker	Previous TD ETF Name	New Ticker	New TD ETF Name
TOCC	TD One-Click Conservative ETF Portfolio	TCON	TD Conservative ETF Portfolio
TOCM	TD One-Click Moderate ETF Portfolio	TBAL	TD Balanced ETF Portfolio
TOCA	TD One-Click Aggressive ETF Portfolio	TGRO	TD Growth ETF Portfolio

Management fees of TD ETFs

The TD ETFs now offer one of the lowest management fees for all-in-one ETF portfolios in Canada, as set out in the table below:

Ticker	TD ETF Name	Management Fee	Asset Mix
TCON	TD Conservative ETF Portfolio	0.15 %	30% Equity / 70% Fixed Income
TBAL	TD Balanced ETF Portfolio	0.15 %	60% Equity / 40% Fixed Income
TGRO	TD Growth ETF Portfolio	0.15 %	90% Equity / 10% Fixed Income

The changes noted above, including changes to the portfolio compositions, align with the investment objectives of each TD ETF and will allow each TD ETF to more closely track its benchmark. There are no changes to the distribution policy or risk rating of each TD ETF. There are no changes to the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) and International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) identifiers of each ETF as a result of these changes.

An amendment to the offering documents of the TD ETFs was filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on July 28, 2023. See the initial announcement on the changes to the TD One-Click Suite of ETFs here.
