TD Asset Management celebrates $10 billion AUM milestone in ETFs

With a robust solution set, TD ETFs are on a mission to innovate

TORONTO, July 6, 2023 /CNW/ - Over the past five years TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) has launched more than 40 Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) investment options and grown its ETF assets under management (AUM), from under $300 million to over $10 billion. A significant milestone as TDAM continues to build a strong foundation of strategies and solutions while seeking to advance its mission to offer innovative investment solutions. 

"We are thrilled to reach this milestone of $10 billion in AUM and are deeply grateful to our investors who have entrusted us with their money and whose needs drive our commitment to continued innovation," said Bruce Cooper, Chief Executive Officer, TDAM.

"Achieving this substantial milestone demonstrates the expertise and collaboration of TDAM's talented teams who have not only enabled us to develop ETFs that seek to meet the needs of investors but also innovate and differentiate our products in an increasingly competitive market."

TDAM is known for its expertise in fixed income, fundamental equity, and pioneering low volatility strategies in Canada, among other capabilities. TDAM developed one of the broadest mutual fund solution sets in Canada; from those learnings TDAM began building a line-up of ETFs to not only offer investors a diverse set of strategies, but also focused on providing differentiated investment solutions.    

This journey began with the launch of six ETFs, giving investors convenient access to Canadian, U.S., and global markets through index ETFs. These six ETFs are the foundation of the TD ETF line-up and offer a simple way for investors to build a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds:

• TTP – TD Canadian Equity Index ETF
• TPU – TD U.S. Equity Index ETF
• THU – TD U.S. Equity CAD Hedged Index ETF
• TPE – TD International Equity Index ETF
• THE – TD International Equity CAD Hedged Index ETF
• TDB – TD Canadian Aggregate Bond Index ETF

All of these ETFs track an index developed by Solactive AG, an innovative index provider based out of Germany that recently won "Best Index Provider" awards in six different categories on the ETF Express Canadian ETF awards 2023.

Since the launch of the first set of index ETFs, TDAM has continued to invest in its capabilities and to build innovative strategies for clients. Some of TDAM's differentiated solutions include:

• Income and growth: TD Active Global Enhanced Dividend ETF (TGED) is a covered call ETF that seeks to earn income and generate moderate capital growth. Read the TD Active Global Enhanced Dividend ETF Brochure, Pioneering a New Frontier, to learn more.
