AGF Investments Announces Proposed Changes to the Investment Objective of AGF Global Sustainable Growth Equity ETF

AGF Investments Inc. (AGF Investments) announced today proposed changes to the investment objective of AGF Global Sustainable Growth Equity ETF (Ticker: AGSG) (the “ETF”), subject to obtaining securityholder and regulatory approval.

Following an extensive review, AGF Investments believes it is in the best interests of the ETF and its securityholders to transition from a broadly focused global sustainable equity mandate to a more targeted energy transition and climate adaptation strategy. This repositioning will better align the ETF’s investment approach with evolving market opportunities and investor demand, while providing more differentiated exposure to companies that are directly contributing to the reduction of environmental impact and the development of solutions supporting the transition to a lower-carbon economy.

Currently, the ETF seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities, globally, which fit its concept of sustainable development. AGF Investments is proposing to change the investment objective of the ETF to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies providing solutions related to reducing the environmental footprint of the current energy system and adaptation to climate change.
