LONGPOINT ADDS THE HUMILIS ETFS

LongPoint Asset Management Inc. and Humilis Investment Strategies LLC will launch three exchange-traded funds in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange tomorrow morning. The Humilis ETFs include: Humilis North American Tactical Equity Fund, Humilis North American Dividend Growth ETF and Humilis Fundamental Opportunities ETF.

Brian Belski is back. Humilis is an independent portfolio advisory firm founded in 2025 on the belief that conviction and humility are not contradictions -- they are the foundation of disciplined investing. He brings over 35 years of Wall Street experience, most recently serving as chief investment strategist at one of Canada's big banks. Known for his disciplined, long-term approach, he has guided institutions, advisers and investors through every major market cycle of the past four decades.

Humilis North American Tactical Equity Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing tactically, primarily in equity securities of large-capitalization U.S. companies and select Canadian companies. HBTA is also expected to soon be available to advisers through Series A and Series F.

Humilis North American Dividend Growth ETF seeks to provide income and capital growth by investing primarily in dividend-paying equity securities of U.S. and Canadian companies.

Humilis Fundamental Opportunities ETF seeks to provide long-term capital growth by investing opportunistically, primarily in large capitalization equity securities of Canadian companies and select U.S. companies.

The Humilis ETFs are designed to best encapsulate Humilis's long-term fundamental opinions, themes and positioning with respect to equity markets, sectors and industries, and are constructed to provide investors with core long-term equity holdings of high-quality, brand-named companies in both the United States and Canada. Humilis utilizes a strategy that combines top-down discipline with bottom-up fundamental research to identify stocks that may represent superior risk/reward opportunities.

"Canadian investors have been missing Brian Belski, and we're very excited to partner with Brian and the Humilis team to bring these ETFs to the Canadian market. These Humilis-branded ETFs combine LongPoint's platform expertise with Brian's renowned investment approach to building concentrated, research-driven equity portfolios," said Steve Hawkins, chief executive officer of LongPoint. "We're also pleased to continue seeing the benefits of our flexible partnership platform compared to traditional subadvisory models. Our structure allows a partner like Humilis to focus on their core strengths, investment management, sales and ETF growth while we manage and administer all the operational and capital markets functions."

The LongPoint ETF partnership platform is designed for Canadian, U.S. and international asset managers and index providers. The LongPoint team works with partner firms to bring their unique mandates to the Canadian market, benefiting investors looking for new opportunities. LongPoint's flexible platform simplifies the launch and operation of ETFs, often a daunting and commercially unviable process for many asset managers, by leveraging its deep industry connections and local market insight. This allows partners to focus on their areas of expertise, primarily including portfolio strategy, and expanding assets under management.

"We are excited to partner with the LongPoint team on the Humilis ETFs. Through their platform, we were able to bring these products to market very quickly and now we can focus on what we do best: disciplined investing for our clients," said Mr. Belski, chief executive officer of Humilis. "The Humilis ETFs provide Canadian investors with unique access to our portfolios, which will be constructed with conviction, humility and discipline with a focus on risk management through patience, structure and constant re-evaluation."

The Humilis ETFs have closed their offering of initial units and will begin trading on the TSX when the market opens tomorrow morning.
