About the new TD Mutual Funds
TD Global Disciplined Equity Alpha
Fund™ seeks to offer investors and
advisors:
- Robust risk management: This solution relies on in-house
risk modelling capabilities used to build and manage low-volatility
strategies over the last decade;
- Potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns: By
deriving company factor information from many data sources, our
portfolio management team can help to potentially generate more
attractive risk-return profiles for clients;
- Dynamic factor exposure: A technology-driven approach
utilizes hundreds of data points for stocks in the fund's available
universe to identify opportunities more effectively;
- Style versatility: The solution provides a
style-agnostic approach to sectors and market cap levels
potentially providing more opportunities to capitalize on market
inefficiencies.
TD Target Maturity Bond Funds seek to offer
investors and advisors:
- Choice of Canadian or U.S. dollar exposure: Investors
can choose exposure to either Canadian or U.S. dollar
investment-grade corporate bonds by allocating to a respective fund
and maturity year;
- Defined maturity: TD Target Maturity Bond Funds allow
investors to align their cash flow needs with the known maturity
date and seek to reduce sensitivity to changes in the interest
rates as each fund approaches maturity;
- Professional management: The solution's active
management allows portfolio managers to respond to market events,
seek out strategic opportunities, and potentially offer a higher
yield to maturity while managing declining yield risk in a fund's
final year of maturity;
- Diversification: The solution seeks to provide
diversification through allocation to a basket of bonds from
different issuers and sectors, which potentially contributes to a
more resilient fixed income portfolio.
TD Global Technology Leaders Index Fund is
structured to help provide investors seeking exposure to the
technology sector with potential for long-term capital growth by
tracking the performance of a global equity index which measures
the investment return of global mid- and large-cap issuers related
to technology, and TD Preferred Share Fund which seeks to
add value and reduce risk by investing primarily in Canadian-listed
preferred shares and other income-producing securities. With the
launch of these mutual funds, investors are now able to access a
convenient and efficient solution benefiting from the research,
experience and insights of TDAM's experienced investment team.
TD Canadian Long Term Federal Bond Fund and TD U.S.
Long Term Treasury Bond Fund are now available in D-Series,
making the strategies behind TD Canadian Long Term Federal Bond ETF
(TCLB) and TD U.S. Long Term Treasury Bond ETF (TULB) available for
discount brokerage clients in mutual fund form and allowing
investors to potentially benefit from these strategies in either an
ETF or Mutual Fund portfolio. Both TD Canadian Long Term Federal
Bond Fund and TD U.S. Long Term Treasury Bond Fund seek to earn a
high rate of interest income, with TD Canadian Long Term Federal
Bond Fund focusing on longer-dated Government of Canada securities and TD U.S. Long Term
Treasury Bond Fund focusing on longer-dated U.S. Treasury bonds
denominated in U.S. dollars.
US$ Purchase Options
To help investors build tailored portfolios to reach their
financial goals, F-Series and Advisor Series of TD U.S. Equity
Focused Fund and F-Series of TD U.S. Index Fund are now available
in U.S. dollars.
