J.P. MORGAN ASSET MANAGEMENT CANADA LAUNCHES INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPED EQUITY ACTIVE ETF

J.P. Morgan Asset Management Canada has launched the JPMorgan International Developed Equity Active ETF (Toronto Stock Exchange: JIDE), marking the firm's expansion into international developed equities as part of its growing Canadian ETF (exchange-traded fund) suite. The new ETF responds to increasing demand from Canadian investors for diversification beyond domestic markets through actively managed strategies.

JIDE provides investors with active exposure to high-quality companies across developed markets, supported by J.P. Morgan's global equity research capabilities.

"As Canadian investors seek more sophisticated equity solutions to diversify portfolios, developed international markets remain a key source of long-term opportunity," said Travis Hughes, head of Canada at JPMAM. "JIDE delivers access to our highest-conviction international developed equity strategy, leveraging the depth of our global research to help investors broaden portfolio diversification."

The strategy focuses on high-quality companies with attractive valuations and an improving outlook, with the objective to provide long-term capital growth by investing in international equities. The time-tested investment process leverages both quantitative and fundamental insights.

"JIDE brings active management to Canadian investors seeking efficient access to developed international markets," said Jay Rana, head of Canadian adviser business at JPMAM. "The launch reinforces our commitment to delivering research-driven solutions that help investors navigate global markets and pursue long-term growth."

With more than four decades of experience serving Canadian investors, JPMAM continues to expand its presence in the Canadian market. The launch of JIDE marks JPMAM's ninth ETF to list in Canada, building on the firm's 2024 entry into the Canadian ETF landscape. It further supports the firm's strategy of delivering differentiated investment solutions to Canadian clients.

JIDE has closed its initial offering of units and is now trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).
