CI GLOBAL ASSET MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCES NAME CHANGE FOR AWARD-WINNING GOLD BULLION ETF

CI Global Asset Management's CI Gold Bullion Fund has been renamed CI Gold Bullion ETF, effective today. There has been no change to VALT's ticker, Cusip number, investment objective or investment strategies.

VALT is designed for investors who want a cost-effective and convenient way to invest in gold. VALT seeks to buy and hold substantially all of its assets in gold bullion. As such, its performance should reflect the performance of the price of gold, less VALT's expenses.

By investing in bullion, the ETF provides investors with the benefits of diversification and the potential for growth and inflation protection. The ETF's gold holdings are securely stored in its custodian's treasury vaults in London, England.

VALT has a management fee of 0.155 per cent -- the lowest of any gold bullion fund in Canada -- and has been recognized for its outstanding performance. The ETF was a 2025 LSEG Lipper Fund Award winner, being named the best ETF in the commodity category over three years.
