AGF Investments holders OK objective changes for ETF

AGF INVESTMENTS ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SECURITYHOLDERS OF AGF GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE GROWTH EQUITY ETF

Following a special meeting, AGF Management Ltd.'s AGF Investments Inc. securityholders have approved changes to the investment objective of AGF Global Sustainable Growth Equity ETF.

As previously announced, once implemented, the exchange-traded fund will transition from a broadly focused global sustainable equity mandate to a more targeted energy transition and climate adaptation strategy. This repositioning better aligns 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.

The new investment objective is anticipated to be implemented on or about Aug. 19, 2026, and the following additional changes will be made to the ETF concurrent with the change to the investment objective:

  • Investment strategies updated to align with the new investment objective;
  • Updated risk factors to reflect the change in investment objective and investment strategies;
  • Name change to AGF Energy Transition and Adaptation ETF, to reflect the ETF's new investment objective;
  • Ticker symbol change to ATAP to better reflect the ETF's new name;
  • Risk rating change from medium to high; and
  • Updated reference indices for determining the risk rating of the ETF.

AGF Investments intends to file an amendment to the prospectus of the ETF on July 30, 2026, to implement the investment objective change and other ancillary changes described in the information circular, with such changes to become effective on or about Aug. 19, 2026. As a result of the objective change, the ETF will be removed from the list of environmental, social and governance focused ETFs, reflecting the ETF's revised investment objective and strategy. As a result, the ETF will no longer employ an ESG focused investment strategy as a defining feature of its investment process.

The prospectus amendment will also change the risk rating of the ETF from medium to high. In addition, the prospectus amendment will provide that the S&P Global Clean Energy Transition Index will be used as the reference index for the period prior to March 1, 2023, and the Solactive U.S. Energy Transition and Adaptation Opportunities Index will be used as the reference index after March 1, 2023. The risk rating and reference index changes will also become effective on or about Aug. 19, 2026.
