ACCELERATE EXPANDS ACCESS TO ITS INDUSTRY-LEADING ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT PLATFORM WITH LAUNCH OF NEW INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Accelerate Financial Technologies Inc. has launched Series A and Series F mutual fund versions of its exchange-traded funds, providing Canadian investors and investment advisers with greater flexibility in how they access Accelerate's portfolio diversifiers.

The new mutual fund series provides access to the same underlying investment strategies offered through Accelerate's established ETFs, while allowing investors to hold the strategies through traditional mutual fund platforms.

"When accessing alternative investments, liquidity has never been more important," said Julian Klymochko, chief executive officer and chief investment officer of Accelerate. "With the launch of the Series A and Series F versions of our alternative investment solutions, Canadian investors, and advisers now have an additional access point to Accelerate's daily liquid multiasset, private credit and hedge fund solutions."

The new mutual fund launches include those shown in the attached table.

"Investors increasingly want access to alternative strategies, but they also want the flexibility to choose the investment vehicle that works best for them," said Mr. Klymochko. "By offering mutual fund versions of our ETFs, we can make these strategies available to a broader range of advisers, dealer platforms and allocators."

The new funds are available through participating Canadian investment dealers and investment advisers on or around Sept. 21, 2026.
