TORONTO, May 2, 2017 /CNW/ - Further to its announcement on
April 3, 2017 relating to the elimination of the advisor class units of its exchange trade funds
("ETFs") (see the table below), First Asset Investment Management Inc., the manager of the ETFs ("First Asset"),
announces that the conversion of the advisor class units will occur on or about Friday, July 14,

As previously announced, on the Conversion Date, First Asset plans to reduce the annual management fee on the advisor class
units by an amount equal to the applicable service fee payable in respect of that class of units and, either concurrently or as
