Trading Central SA and/or its subsidiaries will provide continuing index component research to Solactive for each of the TC Quant indices.

Alain Pellier, chief executive officer of Trading Central SA, added: "The listing of these ETFs based on our quant strategies on the TSX marks an important milestone for Trading Central as we extend our footprint on financial products to the North American ETF market. Through our partnership with LongPoint, we're bringing institutional-grade strategies into a very popular, liquid and accessible format to empower Canadian investors."
