The new distribution rate for TLF of 80 cents per annum, or 4.1 per cent based on the Toronto Stock Exchange closing price of $19.43 on Jan. 21, 2021, represents a 23.5-per-cent increase from the previous level. TLF has paid 115 consecutive monthly distributions since inception on May 20, 2011, for total distributions of $6.23 per unit. TLF.U is the unhedged unit and will also enjoy an 80-U.S.-cent-per-unit annual distribution rate.

Of the 132 non-Index Canadian ETFs that have a minimum five-year performance history, TLF is the best-performing active ETF over one, three and five years, all as of Dec. 31, 2020, and has generated a total return of 23.5 per cent per annum over the five-year period.

The fund provides investors with exposure to a portfolio of equity securities of large capitalization global technology companies, providing the opportunity for capital appreciation, and the opportunity for enhanced distributions and higher risk-adjusted returns due to an active covered-call writing program.

Unitholders are reminded that TLF offers a distribution reinvestment plan which provides unitholders with the ability to automatically reinvest distributions, commission-free, and realize the benefits of compound growth. Unitholders can enroll in a DRIP program by contacting their investment adviser.
