TORONTO, July 28,
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
announced a plan to simplify the suite of TD ETFs including
modifications to the composition of the TD ETF portfolios, names
and ticker symbol changes, and a reduction in the management fees.
All of the changes described below will be effective on or
about August 31, 2023.
Portfolio changes
TDAM is simplifying the composition of the TD ETFs by modifying
the construction of the portfolios. TD ETFs will generally invest
in index ETFs in order to provide investors with broad market
exposure while reducing the management fees. The benchmarks and
target asset mix will remain the same and rebalancing to the target
weights will occur on a quarterly basis.
Name changes of TD ETFs
The names and ticker symbols of the TD ETFs are also changing,

The changes noted above, including changes to the portfolio
compositions, align with the current investment objectives and
strategies of each TD ETF and will allow each TD ETF to more
closely track its benchmark. There will be no changes to the
distribution policy or risk rating of each TD ETF. There are
no changes to the CUSIP (Committee on Uniform Securities
Identification Procedures) and ISIN (International Securities
Identification Number) identifiers of each ETF as a result of these
changes.
An amendment to the offering documents of the TD ETFs will
be filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on or
about July 28, 2023.

their values change frequently, and past performance may not be
