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.

The names and ticker symbols of the TD ETFs are also changing, as set out in the table below:

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.
