“We are very happy to be bringing these two products to market. There is
a real lack of good International focused ETFs designed for Canadian investors
and we believe these two new products will give Canadian investors a great
opportunity to get exposure to global markets, with the benefit of low
management fees and a strong investment strategy. The products are designed
using the Fundamental Index approach by FTSE RAFI, which have historically
outperformed their respective market benchmarks. The products could be great
tools to help any investor looking to diversify their portfolios”, said Som
