New exchange traded-funds build upon the
portfolio management strengths of TDAM and provide investors with
more innovative options
TORONTO, May 9, 2019 /CNW/ - TD Asset Management Inc.
("TDAM") today announced the launch of three new TD Exchange-Traded
Funds ("New TD ETFs"). Following the introduction of
actively-managed ETFs in late 2018, the New TD ETFs build upon the
portfolio management strengths of TDAM in both active and passive
management. TDAM continues to expand its suite of innovative
solutions including distinctive features that may help to provide
greater value when compared to similar offerings in the
marketplace. Each New TD ETF is competitively priced and seeks
to provide investors with enhanced total returns, reduced
volatility or growth through exposure to the technology
sector.
The New TD ETFs will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange
(TSX) today:
TD Active Global Enhanced Dividend ETF (Ticker:
TGED)
An actively managed, total-return focused ETF that
strives to earn income and generate moderate capital growth by
investing primarily in dividend-paying equity securities of issuers
located anywhere in the world. The ETF may use options strategies
to help reduce risk and earn additional income.
TD Systematic International Equity Low Volatility ETF
(Ticker: TILV)
A quantitative ETF strategy that aims
to achieve long-term capital growth by investing directly in, or
obtaining exposure to, equity securities of developed market
issuers outside Canada and
the United States, while also
seeking to reduce volatility.
TD Global Technology Leaders Index ETF (Ticker:
TEC)
A technology focused ETF that seeks to track, to
the extent reasonably possible and before the deduction of fees and
expenses, the performance of Solactive Global Technology Leaders
Index, a custom index designed by TDAM in collaboration with
Solactive AG. This Index can provide investors with exposure to
today's most successful technology companies as well as emerging
technology companies.
"We are excited once again to be introducing new ETFs to the

solutions," said Bruce Cooper, CEO
