TD ASSET MANAGEMENT INC. LAUNCHES FOUR NEW ETF SERIES OF EXISTING TD MUTUAL FUNDS

TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM), the manager of TD Mutual Funds and TD exchange-traded funds (ETFs), has launched four new ETF series of existing TD Mutual Funds, further expanding its lineup of actively managed investment solutions available in an exchange-traded format. The new offerings include TD Alternative Commodities Pool -- ETF series (ticker: TCOM), as well as TD Canadian Corporate Bond Fund -- ETF series (ticker: TCCB), TD Short Term Bond Fund -- ETF series (ticker: TSTB) and TD Ultra Short Term Bond Fund -- ETF series (ticker: TUST).

These launches highlight TDAM's commitment to providing investors with better access to its mutual fund strategies through new ETF series, which combines the benefits of active management with intraday liquidity, trading flexibility and potential cost-efficiencies.

TD Alternative Commodities Pool -- ETF series: TCOM

TCOM provides access to an actively managed diversified basket of commodities spanning energy, metals (industrial and precious), agriculture and livestock. The strategy is designed to help investors diversify portfolios, manage inflation risk and gain exposure to commodities as a distinct asset class, where long-term returns may be supported by years of underinvestment in supply. The TD Alternative Commodities Pool recently surpassed $1-billion in assets under management, highlighting growing investor confidence in the role of commodities in a portfolio and in TDAM's disciplined approach to managing this complex asset class.

"Commodities can play an important role in portfolio diversification, particularly during periods of inflation uncertainty and supply-side disruption," said Hussein Allidina, CFA, managing director, head of commodities, TDAM. "By combining active commodities management with the flexibility investors expect from ETFs, we're reshaping how investors access alternative investments in an increasingly complex investment landscape."

Fixed income ETF series: TCCB, TUST and TSTB

TDAM also announced the launch of three fixed income ETF series, offering investors targeted exposure across the shorter maturity end of the Canadian bond market, designed to support income generation, capital preservation and portfolio liquidity. These ETF series are designed for today's evolving market environment, providing investors with choice and flexibility across short-duration fixed income, allowing them to position portfolios based on their income needs.

"Our new ETF series redefine how investors can access our fixed income strategies, giving them greater precision when constructing portfolios," said Justin Flowerday, CFA, senior vice-president and chief investment officer, TDAM. "As markets evolve, combining active bond management with the flexibility of the ETF structure gives investors greater control in accomplishing their income needs."

TCOM, TCCB, TUST and TSTB are expected to begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange today.
