Evolve NASDAQ Technology UltraYield ETF Expected to Begin Trading on August 13, 2026

TORONTO, August 6, 2026 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus with plans to bring the Evolve NASDAQ Technology UltraYield ETF (“TECY”) to Canadian investors. TECY is designed to provide investors with modestly levered exposure to leading technology companies while generating enhanced income through a covered call strategy. TECY is expected to begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on August 13, 2026 under the ticker symbol TECY (CAD Hedged ETF Units), subject to TSX approval.

“We are pleased to expand our UltraYield lineup, designed to deliver enhanced income twice per month,” said Raj Lala, President and CEO of Evolve ETFs. “TECY builds on the success of our Nasdaq-100 technology suite, including QQQT and QQQY, offering investors targeted exposure to only the 46 technology companies in the Nasdaq-100, many of which are at the forefront of AI and digital innovation. Similar to our other UltraYield funds, TECY will employ modest leverage and an active covered call overlay.”

TECY seeks to provide attractive income and long-term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of leading technology companies that have the potential to generate significant option premiums. To enhance yield, as well as to mitigate risk and reduce volatility, TECY will employ a covered call option writing program at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

TECY will use modest leverage in order to seek to achieve its investment objective. Leverage will be created through the use of cash borrowings and/or Derivatives, or as otherwise permitted under applicable securities legislation.

Cash distributions, if any, on TECY will be paid at least twice per month, with the possibility of more frequent distributions at the Manager’s discretion.

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Fund as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Fund, listed above.

Evolve All-in-One UltraYield ETF Expected to Begin Trading on March 12, 2026

TORONTO, March 6, 2026 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus with plans to bring the Evolve All-in-One UltraYield ETF (“EASY” or the “Evolve Fund”) to Canadian investors. EASY is designed to provide investors with modestly levered exposure to a portfolio of leading global companies with a covered call strategy and cash distributions paid twice per month. EASY is expected to begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on March 12, 2026 under the ticker symbol EASY (CAD Hedged ETF Units), subject to TSX approval.

“We are excited to expand Evolve’s UltraYield ETFs lineup, which is designed to deliver enhanced income twice per month,” said Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “EASY offers a convenient one-ticket solution with exposure to a portfolio of our UltraYield ETFs, initially investing in BIGY, CANY, and INTY.”

EASY seeks to provide attractive income and long-term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of leading global equity securities that have the potential to generate significant option premiums. To enhance yield, as well as to mitigate risk and reduce volatility, EASY will employ a covered call option writing program at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

EASY will use modest leverage in order to seek to achieve its investment objective. Leverage will be created through the use of cash borrowings and/or Derivatives, or as otherwise permitted under applicable securities legislation.

Cash distributions, if any, on EASY will be paid at least twice per month, with the possibility of more frequent distributions at the Manager’s discretion.

EASY’s management fee is 0%. The underlying funds in which the Evolve Fund invests will pay applicable management fees. The management fees on Evolve US Equity UltraYield ETF (“BIGY”), Evolve Canadian Equity UltraYield ETF (“CANY”) are 0.40% of net asset values, plus applicable sales taxes, and Evolve International Equity UltraYield ETF (“INTY”) is 0.60% of net asset values, plus applicable sales taxes. Visit the Evolve website for further information on BIGY (https://evolveetfs.com/product/bigy/), CANY (https://evolveetfs.com/product/cany/)  and INTY (https://evolveetfs.com/product/inty/).

Evolve Announces Estimated Annual Distributions for Certain Evolve Funds

TORONTO – December 2, 2025 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) announces the estimated special year end cash income and non-cash notional reinvested income and capital gains distribution per unit (the “Distributions”) for certain Funds (the “Evolve Funds”) for the 2025 tax year.

These estimates are for the annual cash income and non-cash capital gains and income distributions. Non-cash capital gains and income distributions are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective Funds at the year-end, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution. The reinvestment and immediate consolidation of additional units will result in an increase in the adjusted cost base of units outstanding.

Evolve’s estimates of cash income and non-cash capital gain and income distributions are for information purposes only, to aid with year-end tax and investment planning. These estimates are based on both preliminary and forward-looking information. Actual distributions may differ significantly from the estimates and some of the Funds may pay distributions above or below these estimated ranges, and Funds not currently expected to pay could be required to do so. These estimates are not intended to be used as tax advice. Because each investor’s tax situation is unique, a qualified tax advisor should be consulted.

Evolve expects to announce the final annual cash and reinvested distribution amounts of Evolve Funds including the High Interest Savings Account Fund (“HISA”), US High Interest Savings Account Fund (“HISU.U”), Premium Cash Management Fund (“MCAD”) and US Premium Cash Management Fund (“MUSD.U”) on or about December 31, 2025 with record date on or about December 31, 2025. For all other Evolve Funds, Evolve expects to announce the final annual cash and reinvested distribution amounts on or about December 30, 2025 with record date on or about December 30, 2025. The actual taxable amounts of cash and reinvested distributions for 2025, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) in early 2026.

The estimates are as of October 31, 2025 and could change due to events that occur between the date of these estimates and the date of the Funds’ taxation year end of December 31, 2025 for the High Interest Savings Account Fund, US High Interest Savings Account Fund, Premium Cash Management Fund and US Premium Cash Management Fund and of December 15, 2025 for all other Evolve Funds, and due to a number of factors. These events and factors may include the following:

  • The full measurement period is not captured by these estimates.
  • Portfolio trading and market movements over the next several weeks.
  • Estimates are indicated on a per-share basis. Changes in the number of shares outstanding can have a significant impact on these estimates.
  • These estimates do not reflect all required tax adjustments. Certain tax adjustments are based on market value at a point in time and, therefore, cannot be estimated. Actual distribution amounts will be affected by all required tax adjustments and may be substantially different from these estimates.
  • The period for the Funds’ taxation year may not correspond with the Funds’ fiscal year. This misalignment can have an impact on the amounts distributed and their tax characteristics.

To estimate the dollar value of a distribution for a Fund, multiply the Fund’s total per-share distribution estimate by the number of shares owned.

TORONTO – August 8, 2025 – Evolve Funds Group Inc.

Risk Rating

Risk Rating

Evolve Future Leadership Fund – Hedged ETF Units LEAD Medium Medium to High
Evolve Future Leadership Fund – Unhedged ETF Units LEAD.B Medium Medium to High

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Fund as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Fund, listed above.

Evolve Funds Group Inc. is the investment fund manager and portfolio manager. Evolve Future Leadership Fund (“LEAD”) is offered by Evolve Funds Group Inc., and distributed through authorized dealers.

Evolve XRP ETF Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTO, June 18, 2025 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce the Evolve XRP ETF (“XRP” or the “Evolve Fund”) has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today under the ticker symbols: XRP (CAD Units) and XRP.U (USD Units).

XRP’s investment objective is to hold substantially all of its assets in physical XRP in order to provide a secure and convenient way for investors to hold the cryptocurrency in a brokerage account. To achieve its investment objectives, the Evolve Fund will invest in long-term holdings of XRP, purchased through Coinbase and/or other reputable XRP trading platforms and OTC counterparties, in order to provide investors with a convenient, secure alternative to a direct investment in XRP.

The Evolve Fund’s portfolio will be priced based on, and the Evolve Fund’s NAV will be calculated using, the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate. The CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate is published every day of the year and is available on major vendor platforms such as Bloomberg and Reuters.

The Evolve Fund is offering the following units:

Evolve Funds
USD Units
CAD Units
XRP

XRP will not use derivatives and does not intend to pay regular cash distributions. The Evolve Fund does not seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure in respect of either the USD Units or the CAD Units.

As it is the Evolve Fund’s intention to invest in XRP on a passive basis, the Evolve Fund will not speculate with regard to changes in XRP prices. Purchases of XRP will generally only be undertaken by the Evolve Fund in response to subscriptions, and sales of XRP will generally only be undertaken by the Evolve Fund as required in order to fund expenses and redemptions.

Evolve Announces Management Fee Reduction on Evolve XRP ETF Expected to Begin Trading on June 18, 2025.

TORONTO, June 17, 2025 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus with plans to bring Evolve XRP ETF (“XRP” or the “Evolve Fund”) to Canadian investors. XRP is expected to begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on June 18, 2025 under the ticker symbols XRP (CAD Units) and XRP.U (USD Units), subject to TSX approval.

As set out in the chart below, the Manager has reduced the Management Fee payable on each class of Units of the Evolve Fund. The reduction of the Management Fee is effective as of June 18, 2025.

XRP’s investment objective is to hold substantially all of its assets in physical XRP in order to provide a secure and convenient way for investors to hold the cryptocurrency in a brokerage account. XRP is a digital asset built for moving money across borders, quickly and efficiently. To achieve its investment objectives, the Evolve Fund will invest in long-term holdings of XRP, purchased through Coinbase and/or other reputable XRP trading platforms and OTC counterparties, in order to provide investors with a convenient, secure alternative to a direct investment in XRP.

The Evolve Fund’s portfolio will be priced based on, and the Evolve Fund’s NAV will be calculated using, the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate. The CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate is published every day of the year and is available on major vendor platforms such as Bloomberg and Reuters.

XRP will not use derivatives and does not intend to pay regular cash distributions. The Evolve Fund does not seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure in respect of either the USD Units or the CAD Units.

As it is the Evolve Fund’s intention to invest in XRP on a passive basis, the Evolve Fund will not speculate with regard to changes in XRP prices. Purchases of XRP will generally only be undertaken by the Evolve Fund in response to subscriptions, and sales of XRP will generally only be undertaken by the Evolve Fund as required in order to fund expenses and redemptions.

Risk Rating
Evolve FANGMA Index ETF – Hedged ETF UnitsTECHMedium to HighHigh
Evolve FANGMA Index ETF – USD Unhedged ETF UnitsTECH.UMedium to HighHigh

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Fund as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Fund, listed above.

Evolve Solana ETF Begins Trading Today on TSX with 0% Management Fee

TORONTO, April 16, 2025 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce the Evolve Solana ETF (“SOLA” or the “Evolve Fund”) has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today under the ticker symbols: SOLA (CAD Unhedged Units) and SOLA.U (USD Unhedged Units ).

Evolve will eliminate the annual management fee on SOLA for the remainder of the calendar year ending December 31, 2025, therefore, the effective annual management fee during this time will be zero basis points (0.00%)*.

SOLA’s investment objective is to provide unitholders of the Evolve Fund with exposure to the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of Solana while experiencing minimal tracking error by utilizing the benefits of the creation and redemption processes offered by the exchange traded fund structure.

To achieve its investment objectives, SOLA will invest in long-term holdings of Solana, purchased through Coinbase and/or other reputable Solana trading platforms and OTC counterparties, in order to provide investors with a convenient, secure alternative to a direct investment in Solana. The Evolve Fund will not speculate with regard to short-term changes in Solana prices.

The Evolve Fund may also, subject to any required regulatory approval, stake Solana held in its portfolio in order to earn rewards for the Evolve Fund, which rewards will, following the deduction of applicable fees and expenses, accrue to the Evolve Fund’s NAV for the benefit of Unitholders. The Manager intends to initially target staking up to 50% of the Solana held in the portfolio of the Evolve Fund.

The Evolve Fund’s portfolio will be priced based on, and the Evolve Fund’s NAV will be calculated using, the CME CF Solana-Dollar Reference Rate. The CME CF Solana-Dollar Reference Rate is a once-a-day benchmark index price for Solana denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Evolve Fund is offering the following units:

Evolve Funds
USD Units
CAD Units
SOLA

SOLA will not use derivatives and does not intend to pay regular cash distributions. The Evolve Fund does not seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure in respect of either the USD Units or the CAD Units.

As it is the Evolve Fund’s intention to invest in Solana on a passive basis, the Evolve Fund’s holdings will not be actively managed and accordingly, will not be hedged or repositioned to attempt to take defensive positions if the price of Solana declines or is expected to decline, and it is not the intention of the Evolve Fund to attempt to predict increases in the price of Solana in order to increase returns.

* as of January 1, 2026 a 1.00% management will apply to the Evolve Solana ETF.

Canada’s First Levered Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Expected to Begin Trading on March 18, 2025

TORONTO, March 11, 2025 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus with plans to bring Canada’s first levered bitcoin and ether ETFs to Canadian investors. Evolve Levered Bitcoin ETF (“LBIT”) and Evolve Levered Ether ETF (“LETH” or together the “Evolve Funds”) aim to offer investors leveraged exposure to the digital currencies, bitcoin and ether, respectively. LBIT and LETH are expected to begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on March 18, 2025, subject to TSX approval.

“Evolve is excited to launch Canada’s first levered spot bitcoin and ether ETFs, offering investors additional exposure to bitcoin and ether through modest 25% leverage,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “In 2024, bitcoin surged 123% and ether gained 45%. Many Canadian investors favour modest leverage for its balance of enhanced returns and long-term focus. LBIT and LETH offer a strategic tool for amplifying exposure to these assets.”

LBIT’s investment objective is to provide Unitholders with exposure to 1.25x the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of bitcoin while experiencing minimal tracking error by investing in other publicly offered investment funds managed by the Manager. LBIT intends to invest in the Evolve Bitcoin ETF, which is an investment fund currently managed by the Manager.

LETH’s investment objective is to provide Unitholders with exposure to 1.25x the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of Ether while experiencing minimal tracking error by investing in other publicly offered investment funds managed by the Manager. LETH intends to invest in the Evolve Ether ETF, which is an investment fund currently managed by the Manager.

The Evolve Funds will use leverage in order to achieve their investment objectives. Leverage increases risk. Leverage will be created through the use of cash borrowings or as otherwise permitted under applicable securities legislation. The Evolve Funds will not use derivatives and does not intend to pay regular cash distributions.

Each Evolve Fund is offering the following units:

Evolve Funds
Units
USD Units
CAD Units
LBIT
LETH

LBIT and LETH do not seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure in respect of USD Units or CAD Units.

As it is the Evolve Funds intention to invest indirectly in bitcoin or ether on a passive basis, holdings will not be actively managed and accordingly, will not be hedged or repositioned to attempt to take defensive positions if the price of bitcoin or ether declines or is expected to decline, and it is not the intention of LBIT or LETH to attempt to predict increases in the price of bitcoin in order to increase returns.

Evolve Announces Estimated Annual Distributions for Certain Evolve Funds

TORONTO – November 29, 2024 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) announces the estimated special year end cash income and non-cash notional reinvested income and capital gains distribution per unit (the “Distributions”) for certain Funds (the “Evolve Funds”) for the 2024 tax year.

These estimates are for the annual cash income and non-cash capital gains and income distributions. Non-cash capital gains and income distributions are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective Funds at the year-end, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution. The reinvestment and immediate consolidation of additional units will result in an increase in the adjusted cost base of units outstanding.

Evolve’s estimates of cash income and non-cash capital gain and income distributions are for information purposes only, to aid with year-end tax and investment planning. These estimates are based on both preliminary and forward-looking information. Actual distributions may differ significantly from the estimates and some of the Funds may pay distributions above or below these estimated ranges, and Funds not currently expected to pay could be required to do so. These estimates are not intended to be used as tax advice. Because each investor’s tax situation is unique, a qualified tax advisor should be consulted.

Evolve expects to announce the final annual cash and reinvested distribution amounts on or about December 31, 2024 for all Evolve Funds with record date of December 31, 2024. The actual taxable amounts of cash and reinvested distributions for 2024, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) in early 2025.

The estimates are as of October 31, 2024 and could change due to events that occur between the date of these estimates and the date of the Funds’ taxation year end of December 31, 2024 for the High Interest Savings Account Fund, US High Interest Savings Account Fund, Premium Cash Management Fund and US Premium Cash Management Fund and of December 15, 2024 for all other Evolve Funds, and due to a number of factors.  These events and factors may include the following:

  • The full measurement period is not captured by these estimates.
  • Portfolio trading and market movements over the next several weeks.
  • Estimates are indicated on a per-share basis. Changes in the number of shares outstanding can have a significant impact on these estimates.
  • These estimates do not reflect all required tax adjustments. Certain tax adjustments are based on market value at a point in time and, therefore, cannot be estimated. Actual distribution amounts will be affected by all required tax adjustments and may be substantially different from these estimates.
  • The period for the Funds’ taxation year may not correspond with the Funds’ fiscal year. This misalignment can have an impact on the amounts distributed and their tax characteristics.

To estimate the dollar value of a distribution for a Fund, multiply the Fund’s total per-share distribution estimate by the number of shares owned.

Evolve Canadian Aggregate Bond Enhanced Yield Fund Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTO, September 26, 2024 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce that Evolve Canadian Aggregate Bond Enhanced Yield Fund (“AGG” or the “Fund”) has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today under the ticker symbol: AGG.

AGG seeks to provide investors with attractive monthly income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in fixed income ETFs or fixed income securities primarily issued in Canada. To enhance yield, as well as to mitigate risk and reduce volatility, AGG will employ a covered call option writing program at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

The Manager believes that option writing may have the potential to enhance yield and is an effective way to help lower the level of volatility for an investor and potentially improve returns. All other things being equal, higher volatility in the price of a security results in higher Option Premiums in respect of such security. The Manager believes that the underlying ETFs to be held in AGG’s portfolio are suited for a covered call writing strategy.

“Canadian investors have a significant home bias when investing in fixed income” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “We are pleased to be launching Canada’s first Canadian Aggregate Bond Fund with covered calls. With short-term fixed income rates beginning to decline, many investors are looking for alternative sources of yield. AGG offers exposure to the Canadian bond market with the added benefit of tax-efficient, enhanced income.”

The following chart sets out the TSX ticker symbol for the ETF Units of the Fund:

Evolve Plans to Launch Canadian Aggregate Bond Enhanced Yield Fund

TORONTO, September 17, 2024 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or the “Manager”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for plans to bring the Evolve Canadian Aggregate Bond Enhanced Yield Fund (“AGG” or the “Fund”) to Canadian investors.

“Canadian investors have a significant home bias when investing in fixed income” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “We are pleased to be launching Canada’s first Canadian Aggregate Bond Fund with covered calls. With short-term fixed income rates beginning to decline, many investors are looking for alternative sources of yield. AGG offers exposure to the Canadian bond market with the added benefit of tax-efficient, enhanced income.”

AGG seeks to provide investors with attractive monthly income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in fixed income ETFs or fixed income securities primarily issued in Canada. To enhance yield, as well as to mitigate risk and reduce volatility, AGG will employ a covered call option writing program at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

The Manager believes that option writing may have the potential to enhance yield and is an effective way to help lower the level of volatility for an investor and potentially improve returns. All other things being equal, higher volatility in the price of a security results in higher Option Premiums in respect of such security. The Manager believes that the underlying ETFs to be held in AGG’s portfolio are suited for a covered call writing strategy.

The TSX ticker symbol of the Fund is AGG.

In today’s market environment, characterized by economic uncertainty, market volatility, and declining interest rates, we believe utilities can be a valuable addition to client portfolios. UTES will employ our actively managed covered call strategy and modest 25% leverage to provide investors with enhanced, tax-efficient income.”

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Fund as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Fund, listed above.

TORONTO – April 25, 2024 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) announces the following changes to the risk rating of the Evolve NASDAQ Technology Index Fund (“Evolve Fund”), as indicated in the table below. The following changes to the risk rating of the Evolve Fund are effective today, as indicated in the table below.

Evolve NASDAQ Technology Index Fund – Hedged ETF UnitsQQQTMedium to HighHigh
Evolve NASDAQ Technology Index Fund – Unhedged ETF UnitsQQQT.BMedium to HighHigh
Evolve NASDAQ Technology Index Fund – USD Unhedged ETF UnitsQQQT.UMedium to HighHigh

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Fund as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Fund, listed above.

Commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with exchange traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. There are risks involved with investing in ETFs. Please read the prospectus for a complete description of risks relevant to ETFs. Investors may incur customary brokerage commissions in buying or selling ETF units. Please read the prospectus before investing.

Evolve Artificial Intelligence Fund (TSX: ARTI) 

TORONTO, March 21, 2024 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus and plans to bring Canada’s first Artificial Intelligence Fund using generative Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) to enhance portfolio construction. The Evolve Artificial Intelligence Fund (“ARTI” or the “Fund”) is a fund actively-managed by Evolve that seeks to achieve its investment strategy by principally utilizing a database generated by Gradient Boosted Investments Inc. (“Boosted.ai”). ARTI is designed to provide investors with exposure to AI companies expected to benefit from the increased global adoption of AI.
“As a leader in disruptive technology ETFs, Evolve has been exploring a pure play AI ETF for the last several years,” said Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve ETFs. “It wasn’t until partnering with Boosted.ai and leveraging their proprietary LLM technology, we felt we could build a portfolio of leading AI companies. Boosted.ai’s proprietary model uses generative AI to seek to identify the best AI companies fundamentally changing our world. ARTI will be a great complement to our current suite of innovative disruptive technology ETFs and provide Canadian investors true pure play exposure to this exciting theme.”

The Proprietary LLM Technology is an advanced algorithm within the broader field of AI which is specifically engineered to understand, interpret, and generate human language. The model functions by processing and analyzing vast datasets comprising diverse text sources. The Proprietary LLM Technology can execute a range of complex language-related tasks, including composing texts, summarizing lengthy documents and conducting detailed text-based analyses.

“Working with Evolve to bring this innovative ETF powered by generative AI has been a thrill, as we are pushing the capabilities of large language models (LLM) to new heights together,” said Joshua Pantony, Co-Founder and CEO at Boosted.ai. “Evolve is at the forefront of Canadian innovation with funds focused on cyber security, cloud computing and even the Metaverse, and Boosted.ai is excited to partner with them to help bring ARTI to Canadian customers that want to take advantage of the transformative effect AI will have on the world.”

The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2023, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) in early 2024.

Non-cash capital gains and income distributions are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective Funds at the year-end, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution. The reinvestment and immediate consolidation of additional units will result in an increase in the adjusted cost base of units outstanding.

Evolve’s estimates of cash income and non-cash capital gain and income distributions are for information purposes only, to aid with year-end tax and investment planning. These estimates are based on both preliminary and forward-looking information. Actual distributions may differ significantly from the estimates and some of the Funds may pay distributions above or below these estimated ranges, and Funds not currently expected to pay could be required to do so. These estimates are not intended to be used as tax advice. Because each investor’s tax situation is unique, a qualified tax advisor should be consulted.

Evolve expects to announce the final annual cash and reinvested distribution amounts on or about December 29, 2023 for all Evolve Funds with record date of December 29, 2023. The actual taxable amounts of cash and reinvested distributions for 2023, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) in early 2024.

The estimates are as of October 31, 2023 and could change due to events that occur between the date of these estimates and the date of the Funds’ taxation year end of December 31, 2023 for the High Interest Savings Account Fund, US High Interest Savings Account Fund, Premium Cash Management Fund and US Premium Cash Management Fund and of December 15, 2023 for all other Evolve Funds, and due to a number of factors.  These events and factors may include the following:  

  • The full measurement period is not captured by these estimates.
  • Portfolio trading and market movements over the next several weeks.
  • Estimates are indicated on a per-share basis. Changes in a number of shares outstanding can have a significant impact on these estimates.
  • These estimates do not reflect all required tax adjustments. Certain tax adjustments are based on market value at a point in time and, therefore, cannot be estimated. Actual distribution amounts will be affected by all required tax adjustments and may be substantially different from these estimates.
  • The period for the Funds’ taxation year may not correspond with the Funds’ fiscal year. This misalignment can have an impact on the amounts distributed and their tax characteristics.

To estimate the dollar value of a distribution for a Fund, multiply the Fund’s total per-share distribution estimate by the number of shares owned.

Evolve Plans to Launch Enhanced Yield ETFs on Bonds and Technology

TORONTOSept. 14, 2023 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve ” or the ” Manager “) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for plans to bring two new ETFs that will seek to deliver attractive monthly income to investors by utilizing active covered call strategies.

Evolve Enhanced Yield Bond Fund (“BOND“) aims to provide investors with attractive monthly income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in fixed income ETFs or fixed income securities issued in either the United States or Canada.

Evolve NASDAQ Technology Enhanced Yield Index Fund (“QQQY“) seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Adjusted Market-Cap Weighted™ Index, or any successor thereto (the “Index“).

“Market conditions over the past year have been particularly challenging for yield strategies, leading many investors to seek new solutions,” said Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “We are pleased to introduce QQQY and BOND to investors that are looking to earn higher yield in their equity and fixed income portfolios, respectively. These funds are a great complement to our existing suite of actively managed covered call ETFs, by providing enhanced income, tax efficient yield and helping cushion downside risk.”

To enhance yield, as well as mitigate risk and reduce volatility, BOND and QQQY (together, the “Funds“) will employ a covered call option writing program at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors. The Manager believes that option writing may have potential to enhance yield and is an effective way to help lower the level of volatility for an investor and potentially improve returns. All other things being equal, higher volatility in the price of a security results in higher Option Premiums in respect of such security.

Evolve Plans to Launch Technology-Focused ETF

TORONTOJune 19, 2023 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve“) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators with plans to bring a technology-focused ETF derived from the Nasdaq-100 Index® to the Canadian market. The Evolve NASDAQ Technology Index Fund (“QQQT” or the “Fund“) is designed to provide investors with market cap exposure to only the companies deemed “technology” within the Nasdaq-100 Index®.

“When many investors think of their technology allocation, they refer to the Nasdaq-100®,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve ETFs. “Today, 38 companies within the Nasdaq-100® are classified in the technology sector. QQQT will provide investors with pure-play access to only the technology sector of the index.”

QQQT seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Adjusted Market-Cap Weighted™ Index, or any successor thereto (the “Index“). The Index is designed to measure the performance of the technology companies in the Nasdaq-100 Index®, which measures the performance of 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq. The Index consists of a selection of securities in the Nasdaq-100 Index® which must be classified as a “technology company” (i.e., any company classified under the “technology industry”) according to the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB). No issuer weight may exceed 10% of the Index.

The Fund will be market-capitalization-weighted and rebalanced quarterly. The following chart sets out the ETF Units for each of the Fund:

Evolve Files Preliminary Prospectus for Canadian and U.S. Dollar Cash Management Solutions

TORONTOMay 4, 2023 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager“) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators with plans to bring two cash management solutions (“Evolve Funds“) to the Canadian market. The Premium Cash Management Fund (“MCAD“) and the US Premium Cash Management Fund (“MUSD“) are designed to provide investors with the ability to maximize current income, while at the same time preserving capital and maintaining liquidity, by investing primarily in Canadian dollar-denominated and U.S. dollar-denominated high-quality short term debt securities (with a term to maturity of 365 days or less), respectively.

“With North American interest rates at multi-decade highs, money market funds have become increasingly attractive,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve ETFs. “As Evolve grows its platform to $6 billion in assets under management, these new money market funds will serve as an excellent complement to our existing high interest savings account funds.”

Premium Cash Management Fund

MCAD will invest primarily in Canadian dollar-denominated high-quality short term debt instruments such as treasury bills, bankers acceptances, bearer deposit notes, commercial paper (including asset-backed commercial paper), promissory notes, floating rate notes as well as other short term debt obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Canadian governments or their agencies, Canadian chartered banks, Canadian loan or trust companies or Canadian corporations.

US Premium Cash Management Fund

MUSD will invest primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated high-quality short term debt instruments such as treasury bills, bankers acceptances, bearer deposit notes, commercial paper (including asset-backed commercial paper), promissory notes, floating rate notes as well as other short term debt obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. governments or their agencies, U.S. chartered banks, U.S. loan or trust companies or U.S. corporations.

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Funds as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Funds, listed above.

Evolve Fund Ticker/Symbol Previous Risk Rating New Risk Rating
Evolve Enhanced FANGMA Index ETF TECE Medium to High High

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Fund as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Fund, listed above.

Evolve Plans to Launch Enhanced Yield ETFs for S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500® Indices

TORONTO, January 4, 2023 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus in plans to launch two enhanced yield funds (“Evolve Funds”) tied to traditional indices. The Evolve S&P/TSX 60 Enhanced Yield Fund (“ETSX”) and the Evolve S&P 500® Enhanced Yield Fund (“ESPX”) are expected to begin trading on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), subject to TSX approval. ETSX and ESPX are designed to provide investors with the performance of S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500® Indices, respectively, with the addition of enhanced yield through active covered call strategies on the underlying securities.

“Last year covered call strategies saw significant inflows into the Canadian marketplace,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve ETFs. “We expect that covered call funds will continue to attract attention this year as investors look for enhanced income, tax efficient yield, and strategies that can help cushion some downside risk within their portfolios. ETSX and ESPX complement our existing suite of active covered call strategies and are the only Canadian ETFs tracking the S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500® while writing calls on the underlying securities rather than the indices.”

Evolve S&P/TSX 60 Enhanced Yield Fund

ETSX seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, net of fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P/TSX 60 Index, or any successor thereto, while mitigating downside risk. ETSX invests primarily in the equity constituents of the S&P/TSX 60 Index, or any successor thereto, while writing covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio, at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

Evolve S&P 500® Enhanced Yield Fund

ESPX seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, net of fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P 500® Index, or any successor thereto, while mitigating downside risk. ESPX invests primarily in the equity constituents of the S&P 500® Index, or any successor thereto, while writing covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio, at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

Evolve believes that ETSX and ESPX are suited for a covered call strategy and that option writing may have the potential to add value, as an effective way to help lower the level of volatility for an investor and potentially improve returns.

The following chart sets out the ETF Units for each of the Evolve Funds:

Evolve Fund ETF Units
Hedged ETF Units (CAD$) Unhedged ETF Units (CAD$)
Evolve S&P/TSX 60 Enhanced Yield Fund ETSX
Evolve S&P 500® Enhanced Yield Fund ESPX ESPX.B

 

In addition to ETF Units, the Evolve Funds will be available in Unhedged Class A and Unhedged Class F Mutual Fund Units (CAD$).

Evolve Announces Final 2022 Annual Distributions for Certain Evolve Funds

TORONTODec. 30, 2022 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) announces the final special year end non-cash notional, reinvested income and capital gains distribution per unit (the “Distributions”) for certain Funds (the “Evolve Funds”) for the 2022 tax year.

These distributions are for the annual non-cash capital gains and income distributions, which are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective Evolve Funds at the year-end, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution.

The record date for the 2022 annual distributions will be December 30, 2022. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2022, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) in early 2023.

Details regarding the “per unit” distribution amounts are as follows:

Evolve annonce les distributions annuelles estimées pour 2022

Les estimations d’Evolve des gains en capital et des distributions de revenu hors trésorerie sont fournies à titre indicatif seulement, pour faciliter la planification fiscale et la planification des placements de fin d’exercice. Ces estimations sont basées à la fois sur des informations préliminaires et prospectives. Les distributions réelles pourraient différer considérablement des estimations, et certains fonds pourraient verser des distributions supérieures ou inférieures à ces fourchettes estimatives, et des fonds qui ne sont pas actuellement censés verser pourraient être tenus de le faire. Ces estimations ne sont pas destinées à servir de conseils fiscaux. Étant donné que la situation fiscale de chaque investisseur est unique, un conseiller fiscal qualifié devrait être consulté.

Ces estimations portent sur les distributions annuelles de gains en capital et de revenu autres qu’en espèces, qui sont habituellement réinvesties dans des parts supplémentaires des fonds respectifs à la fin de l’exercice, et ne comprennent pas les montants estimatifs des distributions en espèces mensuelles ou trimestrielles continues. Les parts supplémentaires seront immédiatement regroupées avec les parts précédemment en circulation de sorte que le nombre de parts en circulation après la distribution sera égal au nombre de parts en circulation avant la distribution.

Evolve prévoit annoncer les montants des distributions annuelles réinvesties finales vers le 30 décembre 2022 pour le Fonds Compte d’épargne à intérêt élevé et le Fonds Compte d’épargne à intérêt élevé en dollars américain et vers le 27 décembre 2022 pour tous les autres fonds Evolve. La date d’enregistrement des distributions annuelles de 2022 sera le 29 décembre 2022. Les montants imposables réels des distributions réinvesties et en espèces pour 2022, y compris les caractéristiques fiscales des distributions, seront déclarés aux courtiers (par l’intermédiaire des Services de dépôt et de compensation CDS inc. ou « CDS ») au début de 2023.

Les estimations sont en date du 28 octobre 2022 et pourraient changer en raison d’événements survenant entre la date de ces estimations et la date de fin de l’année d’imposition des fonds, le 31 décembre 2022, pour le Fonds Compte d’épargne à intérêt élevé et le Fonds Compte d’épargne à intérêt élevé en dollars américain et du 15 décembre 2022 pour tous les autres fonds Evolve, et en raison d’un certain nombre de facteurs.

Ces événements et facteurs peuvent comprendre les suivants :

  • Ces estimations ne tiennent pas compte de la période d’évaluation complète.
  • Opérations de portefeuille et mouvements du marché au cours des prochaines semaines.
  • Les estimations sont présentées par action. Les variations du nombre d’actions en circulation peuvent avoir une incidence importante sur ces estimations.
  • Ces estimations ne tiennent pas compte de tous les ajustements fiscaux nécessaires. Certains ajustements fiscaux sont fondés sur la valeur de marché à un moment précis et, par conséquent, ne peuvent être estimés. Les montants réels des distributions seront touchés par tous les ajustements fiscaux nécessaires et pourraient différer considérablement de ces estimations.
  • La période pour l’année d’imposition des fonds peut ne pas correspondre à l’exercice des fonds. Ce décalage peut avoir une incidence sur les montants distribués et leurs caractéristiques fiscales. Pour estimer la valeur en dollars d’une distribution pour un fonds, multiplier l’estimation de la distribution totale par action du fonds par le nombre d’actions détenues.

Les détails concernant les montants de distribution « par part » sont les suivants :

Evolve Announces Estimated 2022 Annual Distributions

Evolve’s estimates of non-cash capital gain and income distributions are for information purposes only, to aid with year-end tax and investment planning. These estimates are based on both preliminary and forward-looking information. Actual distributions may differ significantly from the estimates and some of the funds may pay distributions above or below these estimated ranges, and funds not currently expected to pay could be required to do so. These estimates are not intended to be used as tax advice. Because each investor’s tax situation is unique, a qualified tax advisor should be consulted.

These estimates are for the annual non-cash capital gains and income distributions, which are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective funds at the year-end, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution.

Evolve expects to announce the final annual reinvested distribution amounts on or about December 30th, 2022 for the High Interest Savings Account Fund and US High Interest Savings Account Fund and on or about December 27, 2022, for all other Evolve funds. The record date for the 2022 annual distributions will be December 29th, 2022. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2022, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) in early 2023.

The estimates are as of October 28, 2022 and could change due to events that occur between the date of these estimates and the date of the funds’ taxation year end of December 31st, 2022 for the High Interest Savings Account Fund and US High Interest Savings Account Fund and of December 15, 2022 for all other Evolve funds, and due to a number of factors.

These events and factors may include the following:

  • The full measurement period is not captured by these estimates.
  • Portfolio trading and market movements over the next several weeks.
  • Estimates are indicated on a per-share basis. Changes in a number of shares outstanding can have a significant impact on these estimates.
  • These estimates do not reflect all required tax adjustments. Certain tax adjustments are based on market value at a point in time and, therefore, cannot be estimated. Actual distribution amounts will be affected by all required tax adjustments and may be substantially different from these estimates.
  • The period for the funds’ taxation year may not correspond with the funds’ fiscal year. This misalignment can have an impact on the amounts distributed and their tax characteristics. To estimate the dollar value of a distribution for a fund, multiply the fund’s total per-share distribution estimate by the number of shares owned.

Details regarding the “per unit” distribution amounts are as follows:

Evolve Announces Estimated Annual Distributions for Certain Evolve ETFs

TORONTONov. 22, 2022 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve“) announces the estimated special year end non-cash notional, reinvested income and capital gains distribution per unit (the “Distributions“) for certain ETFs (the “Evolve ETFs“) for the 2022 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of October 28, 2022 and could change due to events that occur between the date of these estimates and the date of the funds’ taxation year end. These events may include market movements, portfolio turnover, change in the amount of income earned, and subscriptions or redemptions of units prior to the ex-dividend date.

These estimates are for the annual non-cash capital gains and income distributions, which are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective funds at the year-end, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution. The reinvestment and immediate consolidation of additional units will result in an increase in the adjusted cost base of units outstanding.

The record date for the 2022 annual reinvested distributions for all Evolve ETFs will be December 29, 2022. The ex-dividend date for the Distributions is anticipated to be December 28, 2022, for all Evolve ETFs except for the High Interest Savings Account Fund (“HISA“) and US High Interest Savings Account Fund (“HISU.U“). The ex-dividend date for the Distribution for HISA and HISU.U is anticipated to be December 29, 2022. Evolve expects to announce the final annual reinvested distribution amounts on or about December 27, 2022, for all Evolve ETFs except HISA and HISU.U which is expected to be on or about December 30, 2022. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2022, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) in early 2023.

Evolve Files Preliminary Prospectus for Enhanced Yield on S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500 Indices

TORONTO, November 11, 2022 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators with plans to bring two enhanced yield funds (“Evolve Funds”) tied to traditional indices. The Evolve S&P/TSX 60 Enhanced Yield Fund (“ETSX”) and the Evolve S&P 500 Enhanced Yield Fund (“ESPX”) are designed to provide investors with the performance of S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500 Indices, respectively, with the addition of enhanced yield through active covered call strategies on the underlying securities.

“Covered call ETFs account for approximately 15% of the $23 billion in Canadian ETF flows this year,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve ETFs. “ETSX and ESPX will be the only Canadian ETFs tracking the S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500 while writing calls on the underlying securities rather than the indices. We believe our tactical approach to writing calls on the underlying securities rather than indices will generate superior yields for investors.”

Evolve S&P/TSX 60 Enhanced Yield Fund

ETSX seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, net of fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P/TSX 60 Index, or any successor thereto, while mitigating downside risk. ETSX invests primarily in the equity constituents of the S&P/TSX 60 Index, or any successor thereto, while writing covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio, at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

Evolve S&P 500 Enhanced Yield Fund

ESPX seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, net of fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P 500 Index, or any successor thereto, while mitigating downside risk. ESPX invests primarily in the equity constituents of the S&P 500 Index, or any successor thereto, while writing covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio, at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

Evolve believes that ETSX and ESPX are suited for a covered call strategy and that option writing may have the potential to add value, as an effective way to help lower the level of volatility for an investor and potentially improve returns.

Evolve Slate Global Real Estate Enhanced Yield Fund Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTOSept. 22, 2022 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager”) is pleased to announce the launch of an actively managed portfolio of public listed real estate securities providing enhanced yield to investors. The Evolve Slate Global Real Estate Enhanced Yield Fund (“BILT”) has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today under the ticker symbol: BILT. Evolve has retained Slate Securities L.P. (“Slate Securities”), an investment management business of Slate Asset Management (“Slate”), as the sub-advisor for BILT.

Ticker Currency
BILT CAD Hedged

“REITs can be an effective hedge to inflation,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “BILT provides investors with access to the real estate market through enhanced yield and the expertise of Slate’s portfolio management team. Slate is a leader in the real estate market with a proven track record of creating value for partners and investors.”

The investment objective of BILT is to provide a recurring income level consistent with the underlying rental income derived from properties owned by publicly listed real estate issuers. BILT targets a yield return in excess of the yield return of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (the “Real Estate Index”). BILT aims to achieve a level of volatility which is lower than the volatility of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index measured by using the standard deviation of returns. The expected return will be derived from the yield return but also from capital appreciation and potentially other yield enhancing strategies.

Slate Securities will actively manage the portfolio through an identified universe of about 2,000 issuers on a global basis that fall within its definition of real estate securities. The universe is reassessed and may vary over time as issuers and business models evolve. Slate Securities believes that option writing may have the potential to add value and is an effective way to help lower the level of volatility for an investor and potentially improve returns.

Slate Securities is an investment management platform specializing in real estate investing, across the public and private real estate markets. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Slate Asset Management, a global investment and asset management platform focused on real assets, Slate Securities benefits from deep expertise, insights and Slate investment opportunities. Slate Securities was founded with the objective of being the real estate solution for allocators.

“We are very pleased to be working with Evolve, a leader in thematic ETFs, to help bring BILT to the market at a time when real estate securities present a uniquely compelling investment opportunity,” says Fraser McEwen, Partner at Slate Securities. “Our team’s deep real estate investing expertise and track record of experience with yield focused real estate securities solutions will be a distinct advantage as we seek to construct and manage this portfolio to deliver long-term, sustainable value for our investors.”

BILT offers Canadian dollar denominated hedged ETF units (“Hedged ETF Units“).

US High Interest Savings Account Fund Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTOAug. 31, 2022 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager“) is pleased to announce the launch and temporary fee reduction on a U.S. dollar savings product that offers daily liquidity and a competitive interest rate. The US High Interest Savings Account Fund (“HISU“) has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX“) today under the ticker symbol: HISU.U.

Ticker Currency
HISU.U USD$

Effective today, the annual management fee for HISU.U will be temporarily reduced by 10 basis points (0.10%). As a result, through December 31, 2022, the annual management fee of HISU.U will be five basis points (0.05%) plus applicable sales taxes, resulting in a higher yield to investors during this period.

“HISU is a great complement to our existing cash solutions which currently have over $1.2 billion in AUM,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “Cash continues to be an important component of a well-diversified portfolio. HISU will earn an attractive yield which will be calculated as the Fed upper rate + 0.20%, which currently totals 2.70%. Any future Fed rate increases will be reflected in the HISU yield.”

HISU offers investors an alternative to traditional savings instruments through daily liquidity and monthly income. HISU is a low-cost investment solution with an attractive yield that is expected to be competitive to other USD high interest savings funds. The investment objective of HISU seeks to maximize monthly income while preserving capital and liquidity by investing primarily in high interest US dollar deposit accounts.

HISU offers Unhedged ETF Units (USD$), Unhedged Class A Mutual Fund Units (USD$), Unhedged Class F Mutual Fund Units (USD$) and Unhedged Class I Mutual Fund Units (USD$).

Evolve Announces Changes to Risk Rating for Certain Evolve Funds

TORONTOAug. 16, 2022 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) announces the following changes to the risk rating of certain funds (the “Evolve Funds”), as indicated in the table below.

Evolve Funds Ticker/Symbol Previous Risk Rating New Risk Rating
Evolve Metaverse ETF – Hedged ETF Units MESH Medium Medium to High
Evolve Future Leadership Fund – Unhedged ETF Units LEAD.B Low to Medium Medium

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Funds as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Funds, listed above.

Evolve Files Preliminary Prospectus for Global Real Estate Fund with Slate Securities

TORONTOAug. 9, 2022 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager“) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for the Evolve Slate Global Real Estate Enhanced Yield Fund (“BILT“). Evolve has retained Slate Securities L.P. (“Slate Securities”), an investment management business of Slate Asset Management (“Slate”), as the sub-advisor for BILTBILT is designed to provide investors with enhanced yield from an actively managed portfolio of publicly listed real estate securities.

“We are pleased to be working with Slate, a leader in the real estate market with a proven track record of creating value for partners and investors,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “We believe long-term growth and the fundamentals for real estate securities remain strong. BILT provides investors with a compelling entry point into the real estate market through enhanced yield and the expertise of Slate’s portfolio management team.”

The investment objective of BILT is to provide a recurring income level consistent with the underlying rental income derived from properties owned by publicly listed real estate issuers. BILT targets a yield return in excess of the yield return of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (the “Real Estate Index”). BILT aims to achieve a level of volatility which is lower than the volatility of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index measured by using the standard deviation of returns. The expected return will be derived from the yield return but also from capital appreciation and potentially other yield enhancing strategies.

Slate Securities will actively manage the portfolio through an identified universe of about 2,000 issuers on a global basis that fall within its definition of real estate securities. The universe is reassessed and may vary over time as issuers and business models evolve. Slate Securities believes that option writing may have the potential to add value and is an effective way to help lower the level of volatility for an investor and potentially improve returns.

Slate Securities is an investment management platform specializing in real estate investing, across the public and private real estate markets. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Slate Asset Management, a global investment and asset management platform focused on real assets, Slate Securities benefits from deep expertise, insights and Slate investment opportunities. Slate Securities was founded with the objective of being the real estate solution for allocators.

“By adding the experienced team at Presima to the Slate platform, we have significantly scaled our public market investing capabilities, enabling us to bring a broader range of real estate investment solutions and even deeper expertise to the investment community,” says Fraser McEwen, Partner at Slate Securities. “We are pleased to be leveraging our team’s collective experience and partnering with Evolve to launch BILT at a time when real estate securities can offer a compelling entry point.”

BILT will offer unhedged Canadian dollar denominated ETF units (“Unhedged ETF Units“) and Canadian dollar denominated hedged ETF units (“Hedged ETF Units“).

Index ETF – Unhedged ETF Units
BASE.B Medium to High High

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Fund as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Fund, listed above.

Evolve Announces Risk Rating Change to Evolve S&P/TSX 60 CleanBeta™ Fund

TORONTO, March 24, 2022 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve“) announces the following change to the risk rating of the Evolve S&P/TSX 60 CleanBeta™ Fund (the “Evolve Fund“), as indicated in the table below.

Evolve Fund Ticker/Symbol Previous Risk Rating New Risk Rating
Evolve S&P/TSX 60 CleanBeta™ Fund SIXT Medium Low to Medium

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Fund as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Fund, listed above.

Evolve Enhanced FANGMA Index ETF Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTOMarch 1, 2022 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve“) is pleased to announce the launch of the Evolve Enhanced FANGMA Index ETF (“TECE“).  TECE has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today under the ticker symbols: TECE (CAD Hedged Units), TECE.B (CAD Unhedged Units) and TECE.U (USD Unhedged Units).

TECE seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, a 1.25 times multiple of the performance of the Solactive FANGMA Equal Weight Index Canadian Dollar Hedged (“FANGMA Index“), or any successor thereto. TECE provides investors with exposure to the equity securities of six technology titans:

FANGMA Index
Alphabet Inc. Amazon Inc. Apple Inc. Facebook Inc. Netflix Inc. Microsoft Corp.

“Despite posting very strong returns in 2021, technology stocks have been under pressure recently on rising inflation, rate hike expectations and geopolitical concerns,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO, at Evolve. “Over the past couple of years FANGMA stocks have been significant contributors to market returns, however, are down 17% year-to-date. Historically, these six tech giants have provided consistent earnings which could make this recent pullback a great time for investors to consider enhanced exposure to big tech.”

TECE will use leverage in order to seek to achieve its investment objective. Leverage will be created through the use of cash borrowings or as otherwise permitted under applicable securities legislation.

The FANGMA Index is equally weighted, rebalanced quarterly and published in US dollars. For more information visit https://evolveetfs.com/product/tece/

BANK provides investors with enhanced yield through exposure to the 10 largest Canadian banks and insurance companies rebalanced quarterly on an equally-weighted basis.

Adding a small amount of leverage and covered calls makes a lot of sense for this sector and for yield seeking investors.”

The investment objective of BANK is to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible before fees and expenses, up to a 1.25 times multiple of the performance of the Solactive Canadian Core Financials Equal Weight Index, or any successor thereto, while mitigating downside risk. BANK invests primarily in the equity constituents of the Solactive Canadian Core Financials Equal Weight Index, or any successor thereto, while writing covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio securities in the portfolio, at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

The Solactive Canadian Core Financials Equal Weight Index measures the performance of the largest Canadian banks and insurance securities on an equally-weighted basis. The initial composition of the Index as well as any ongoing adjustments upon rebalancing are based on certain criteria, including only the top 10 Constituent Issuers with the largest market capitalization that have been classified under the following FactSet Sector: Major Banks, Regional Banks, Life/Health Insurance, Multi-Line Insurance. The composition of the Index is rebalanced quarterly.

BANK is available in unhedged Canadian dollar denominated Units. For more information, visit www.evolveetfs.com.

Evolve European Banks Enhanced Yield ETF Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTO, Jan. 11, 2022 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager“) is pleased to announce the Evolve European Banks Enhanced Yield ETF (“EBNK“) has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX“) today under the ticker symbols: EBNK (CAD Hedged Units), EBNK.B (CAD Unhedged Units) and EBNK.U (USD Unhedged Units).

“European banks were one of the top performing sectors in Europe last year and posted their best returns since 2009,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve ETFs. “The sector is currently trading at steep discounts relative to pre-COVID levels and other regions like the US. Improving economic growth, higher earnings expectations, and lifted dividend restrictions have continued to attract assets to the sector in early 2022. Given current valuations, European banks may offer investors diversification benefits and potentially more upside than North American counterparts.”

The investment objective of EBNK seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible before fees and expenses, the performance of the Solactive European Bank Top 20 Equal Weight Index Canadian Dollar Hedged, or any successor thereto, while writing covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio securities, at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

The Solactive European Bank Top 20 Equal Weight Index Canadian Dollar Hedged measures the performance of equity securities of the largest European banks on an equally-weighted basis, and hedges foreign currency exposure back to Canadian dollars.

The initial composition of the Index as well as any ongoing adjustments upon rebalancing are based on certain criteria, including only the top 20 Constituent Issuers with the largest market capitalization that have been classified under the following FactSet Sector: Major and Regional Banks. The composition of the Index is rebalanced quarterly.

The following chart sets out the TSX ticker symbol for the Units of the Evolve ETF:

Evolve ETF CAD Hedged Units CAD Unhedged Units USD Unhedged Units
Evolve European Banks Enhanced Yield ETF EBNK EBNK.B EBNK.U

Evolve Announces Estimated Annual Distributions for Certain Evolve ETFs

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2021 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) announces the estimated special year end non-cash notional, reinvested income and capital gains distribution per unit (the “Distributions”) for certain ETFs (the “Evolve ETFs”) for the 2021 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of November 12, 2021 and could change due to events that occur between the date of these estimates and the date of the funds’ taxation year end. These events may include market movements, portfolio turnover, change in the amount of income earned, and subscriptions or redemptions of units prior to the ex-dividend date.

These estimates are for the annual non-cash capital gains and income distributions, which are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective funds at the year-end, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly or quarterly cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution. The reinvestment and immediate consolidation of additional units will result in an increase in the adjusted cost base of units outstanding.

Evolve expects to announce the final annual reinvested distribution amounts on or about December 30, 2021, for all funds. The record date for the 2021 annual reinvested distributions will be December 30, 2021. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2021, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or “CDS”) in early 2022.

Evolve Innovation Index Fund, Best Global Equity Fund Over Three Years

TORONTO, November 17, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce that the Evolve Innovation Index Fund (“EDGE”) has won “best” global equity category at the 2021 Lipper Fund Awards from Refinitiv (“Lipper Fund Awards“). EDGE ranked first out of 26 ETFs eligible for consideration and marks Evolve’s first ever Lipper Fund Award recognition.

ETF Name Ticker Lipper Fund ETF Awards Category Award Period
Evolve Innovation Index Fund EDGE Global Equity 3 Years

 

EDGE provides investors with access to global companies involved in disruptive innovation across a broad range of industries, including cybersecurity, automobile innovation, cloud computing, eGaming and eSports, robotics and automation, 5G, genomics, and fintech.

“The pandemic put many disruptive technologies into the limelight,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve ETFs. “It would have been a much more difficult experience without things like genomics advancements leading to our vaccine, video conferencing, and streaming media. Most importantly – we have had a permanent shift towards these technologies that are going to continue to grow and shape our world in the coming years. We are very honoured to receive our first Lipper award. We’d like to thank our supporters, investors, and our team for their contributions.”

One of the simplest ways to gain exposure to disruptive innovation is through an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). ETFs invest in a selection of stocks, which may or may not be linked to an index, and which trade throughout the day. Thematic ETFs provide a way for investors to acquire investments focused around a specific area or technology.

The Lipper Fund Awards are calculated based on a comparison with other ETFs in the same Canadian Investment Funds Standards Committee (“CIFSC”) category. The 2021 Lipper Fund Awards are given to funds that deliver consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers, for various time periods ending July 31, 2021.

“This year’s Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards recognized the steadfast resolve of award-winning managers and firms who successfully navigated one of the sharpest market downturns and recoveries on record enabling investors to maintain a level of economic confidence amidst a backdrop of uncertainty. In a year that endured the impacts of an unprecedented global humanitarian crisis, in which markets reflected investors’ emotions of shock and optimism, there was a degree of solace in having one’s financial fortunes overseen by the stewardship of professional money managers. We congratulate the 2021 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award winners and wish Evolve ETFs continued success.” Robert Jenkins, Head of Research, Lipper, Refinitiv.

Evolve Cryptocurrencies ETF Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2021 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager“) is pleased to announce the launch of Canada’s first multi-cryptocurrency ETF. The Evolve Cryptocurrencies ETF (“ETC“) has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX“) today under the ticker symbols: ETC (CAD Unhedged Units) and ETC.U (USD Unhedged Units).

ETC seeks to provide investors with exposure to the daily price movements of certain digital assets selected by the Manager from time to time, on a market capitalization basis, while experiencing minimal tracking error by investing in other publicly offered investment funds managed by Evolve. The portfolio will be rebalanced monthly.

ETC intends to initially invest in Bitcoin ETF (“EBIT“) and Ether ETF (“ETHR“) based on their respective market capitalization weightings, based on the methodology employed by CF Benchmarks. ETC will not use leverage and does not intend to pay regular cash distributions.

EBIT and ETHR provide investors with exposure to the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of Bitcoin and Ether, respectively, by utilizing the benefits of the creation and redemption processes offered by the exchange traded fund structure. EBIT‘s holdings are priced based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for bitcoin denominated in U.S. dollars, while ETHR‘s holdings are priced based on the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for ether denominated in U.S. dollars. Both indices are administered by benchmark administrator, CF Benchmarks.

No management fees will be payable on ETC, however, the underlying investment funds held by the Fund will pay management fees. The management fees on EBIT and ETHR are 0.75% of net asset values, plus applicable sales taxes. Visit the Evolve website for further information on EBIT (https://evolveetfs.com/product/ebit/) and ETHR (https://evolveetfs.com/product/ethr/).

Evolve Plans to Launch Canada’s First Multi-Cryptocurrency ETF (TSX: ETC) on Wednesday, September 29, 2021

TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2021 /CNW/ – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager“) is pleased to announce that it has filed the final prospectus with Canadian securities regulators in plans to launch Canada’s first multi-cryptocurrency ETF. The Evolve Cryptocurrencies ETF (“ETC” or “the Fund“) is expected to begin trading on Wednesday, September 29, 2021 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX“), subject to TSX approval. ETC is designed to provide investors with one convenient way to obtain exposure to bitcoin and ether, on a market capitalization basis, through an ETF structure.

“Bitcoin has established itself as a store of value and is often referred to as digital gold,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO, Evolve ETFs. “Ether is often referred to as digital oil and has become an essential building block for digital finance including NFTs and other DeFi applications. Together, bitcoin and ether make up about 65% of the total crypto market capitalization. Now investors can access both in one ETF solution.”

ETC seeks to provide investors with exposure to the daily price movements of certain digital assets selected by the Manager from time to time, on a market capitalization basis, while experiencing minimal tracking error by investing in other publicly offered investment funds managed by Evolve. ETC intends to initially invest in Bitcoin ETF (“EBIT“) and Ether ETF (“ETHR“) based on their respective market capitalization weightings, based on the methodology employed by CF Benchmarks. The portfolio will be rebalanced monthly. ETC will not use leverage and does not intend to pay regular cash distributions.

The following chart sets out the TSX ticker symbols for ETC:

CAD Unhedged Units USD Unhedged Units
ETC ETC.U

With combined assets over $185 million, EBIT and ETHR provide investors with exposure to the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of Bitcoin and Ether, respectively, by utilizing the benefits of the creation and redemption processes offered by the exchange traded fund structure. EBIT‘s holdings are priced based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for bitcoin denominated in U.S. dollars, while ETHR‘s holdings are priced based on the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for ether denominated in U.S. dollars. Both indices are administered by benchmark administrator, CF Benchmarks.

“While ether and bitcoin can trend in a similar direction, their returns can vary substantially, which makes the case for investors owning a diversified strategy within the asset class,” says Elliot Johnson, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Evolve ETFs. “The path of returns between bitcoin and ether often cause dramatically different outcomes for investors depending upon their holding period.” According to Bloomberg in 2020, ether outperformed bitcoin by over 150%; however, in 2019, ether’s performance was negative while bitcoin delivered over 90% return.

No management fees will be payable on ETC, however, the underlying investment funds held by the Fund will pay management fees. Currently, the management fees on EBIT and ETHR are 0.75% of net asset values, plus applicable sales taxes. Visit the Evolve website for further information on EBIT (https://evolveetfs.com/product/ebit/) and ETHR (https://evolveetfs.com/product/ethr/).

Evolve Files Preliminary Prospectus For Cryptocurrencies ETF

TORONTO, August 18, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve” or “the Manager”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for the Evolve Cryptocurrencies ETF (“ETC” or “the Fund”). ETC is designed to provide investors with indirect exposure to certain cryptocurrencies selected by the Manager, weighted on a market capitalization basis and rebalanced monthly. 

 “Many investors are adding cryptocurrencies to their investment portfolios today,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO, Evolve ETFs. “The challenges they face include how to invest, and into which cryptocurrencies. Since the regulatory approvals earlier this year for our Bitcoin ETF, and our Ether ETF, investors can hold cryptocurrencies in their brokerage account including their RSP and TFSA. And now with the Evolve Cryptocurrencies ETF, investors will be able to take a broader approach by allocating to cryptocurrencies based on their market cap weightings. If and when Evolve has future cryptocurrency ETFs available, these may also be added at the manager’s discretion, making ETC a potential turnkey solution for cryptocurrency investing.” 

 The investment objective of ETC is to provide investors with exposure to the daily price movements of certain digital assets selected by the Manager from time to time, on a market capitalization basis, while experiencing minimal tracking error by investing in other publicly offered investment funds managed by Evolve. 

 ETC intends to initially invest in Bitcoin ETF (“EBIT”) and Ether ETF (“ETHR”) based on their respective market capitalization weightings based on the methodology employed by CF Benchmarks, or such other methodology determined by the Manager. The portfolio will be rebalanced monthly. ETC will not use leverage and does not intend to pay regular cash distributions. 

 With combined assets currently over $160 million, EBIT and ETHR provide investors with exposure to the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of Bitcoin and Ether, respectively, by utilizing the benefits of the creation and redemption processes offered by the exchange traded fund structure. EBIT’s holdings are priced based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for bitcoin denominated in U.S. dollars, while ETHR’s holdings are priced based on the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for ether denominated in U.S. dollars. Both indices are administered by benchmark administrator, CF Benchmarks. 

 “Investors often think of cryptocurrencies as highly correlated but there is a large dispersion of returns even though they often trend in the same direction,” says Elliot Johnson, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Evolve ETFs. “The differences in volatility even between Bitcoin and Ether often cause dramatically different outcomes for investors depending upon their holding period. For example, last year Ether outperformed Bitcoin by over 150%; however, in 2019 Ether’s performance was negative while Bitcoin delivered over 90% return. Nobody wants to own the wrong thing at the wrong time. ETC looks to help investors by taking some of the guesswork out of investing in digital assets.” 

 No management fees will be payable on ETC, however, the underlying investment funds held by the Fund will pay management fees and will incur trading expenses. Currently, the management fees on each of EBIT and ETHR are 0.75% of net asset values, plus applicable sales taxes. Visit the Evolve website for further information on EBIT (https://evolveetfs.com/product/ebit/) and ETHR (https://evolveetfs.com/product/ethr/). 

ETC will offer U.S. dollar denominated unhedged units (“USD Units”) and Canadian dollar denominated unhedged units (“CAD Units”). ETC does not seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure in respect of either the USD Units or the CAD Units.

Evolve Announces Risk Rating Changes for Certain Evolve Funds

TORONTO – August 16, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) announces the following changes to the risk rating of certain funds (the “Evolve Funds”), as indicated in the table below.

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the “Fund”) is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Funds as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Funds, listed above.

Evolve CleanBeta™ Series of Carbon Neutral ETFs Begin Trading Today on TSX

TORONTO, May 10, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce the launch of the world’s first ETFs to bring carbon neutrality to traditional indices through the newly formed Evolve CleanBeta™ series.

The Evolve S&P/TSX 60 CleanBeta™ Fund (“SIXT”) and the Evolve S&P 500 CleanBeta™ Fund (“FIVE”) have closed their initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today under the ticker symbols: SIXT (CAD Unhedged ETF Units), FIVE (CAD Hedged ETF Units), FIVE.B (CAD Unhedged ETF Units), and FIVE.U (USD Unhedged ETF Units)

SIXT and FIVE seek to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, net of fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P/TSX 60 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, while striving to offset the carbon footprint of the constituent securities in the portfolio.

“While institutional investors have been adopting ESG strategies in their portfolios for many years, other investors have remained skeptical about the screening methodologies that are being applied,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “As we begin the greatest wealth transfer in history, advisors recognize that ESG investing is essential, since climate change is being viewed as one of the most important elements of the investment decision making process with clients’ children and grandchildren. CleanBeta takes a unique approach by decarbonizing the core of investor portfolios.”

In order to offset the carbon in these portfolios, Evolve will rely on a carbon footprint calculation provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices utilizing Trucost. Trucost is a division of S&P Global. The data and analysis provided by Trucost will determine the carbon exposure of the companies in the indices. SIXT and FIVE will employ a variety of strategies, including purchasing and retiring carbon credits, as a means to neutralize the full carbon footprints.

“On behalf of Toronto Stock Exchange, I’d like to congratulate Evolve ETFs on bringing this innovative product to market which, as Evolve states, will strive to offset the carbon footprint of the constituent securities in the portfolio,” says Loui Anastasopoulos, President, Capital Formation and Enterprise Marketing Officer at TMX Group. “We are committed to supporting the ongoing evolution of socially responsible and sustainable investing across our markets, including capital raising as well as products and services that facilitate ESG investing.”

The S&P/TSX 60 Index is a portfolio index of the large-cap market segment of the Canadian equity market. The S&P/TSX 60 Index is provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and is a market capitalization-weighted index of securities of its Constituent Issuers. The Index is comprised of 60 of the largest (by market capitalization) and most liquid constituents of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and is generally rebalanced quarterly.

The S&P 500® is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. The S&P 500® is provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and is a market capitalization-weighted index of securities of its Constituent Issuers. The S&P 500® includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. The S&P 500® is also the U.S. component of the S&P Global 1200.

Evolve FANGMA Index ETF Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTO, May 6, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce the launch of the first of its kind Evolve FANGMA Index ETF (“TECH”). TECH has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today under the ticker symbols: TECH (CAD Hedged Units), TECH.B (CAD Unhedged Units) and TECH.U (USD Unhedged Units).

TECH seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the Solactive FANGMA Equal Weight Index Canadian Dollar Hedged (“FANGMA Index”), or any successor thereto. TECH provides investors with exposure to the equity securities of six technology titans:

“The FANGMA Index ETF is a first of its kind, providing investors with simplified access to the world’s six tech giants in one ETF,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO, at Evolve. “One of the numerous operational advantages of using this Fund is the fact that investors can get exposure to these six companies for a $10 starting share price. This compares with investing over $7,000 at current market prices to purchase one share of each of these companies. This ETF provides investors with a mechanism to control their overall portfolio exposure to the largest technology companies in the world.”

The FANGMA Index is equally weighted, rebalanced quarterly and published in US dollars. For more information visit https://evolveetfs.com/product/tech/

Evolve Plans to Launch the World’s First ETFs to Bring Carbon Neutrality to S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500 Indices on May 10, 2021

TORONTO, May 3, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce that it has filed the final prospectus in plans to launch the world’s first ETFs to bring carbon neutrality to traditional indices through the newly formed Evolve CleanBeta™ series of ETFs. The Evolve S&P/TSX 60 CleanBeta™ Fund (“SIXT”) and the Evolve S&P 500 CleanBeta™ Fund (“FIVE”) provide investors with the performance of traditional indices, while striving to offset the carbon footprint of the securities in the portfolios. SIXT and FIVE are expected to begin trading on Monday, May 10, 2021 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), subject to TSX approval.

“We’ve observed a number of challenges related to ESG investing adoption,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “From inconsistent screening methodologies to a narrowing of the investable universe resulting in a change of the overall return profile. We think CleanBeta helps solve many of these issues by providing investors with a simple solution to make traditional indices carbon neutral.”

In order to offset the carbon in these portfolios, Evolve will rely on a carbon footprint calculation provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices utilizing Trucost. Trucost is a division of S&P Global. The data and analysis provided by Trucost will determine the carbon exposure of the companies in the indices. SIXT and FIVE will employ a variety of strategies, including purchasing and retiring carbon credits, as a means to neutralize the full carbon footprints.

SIXT and FIVE seek to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, net of fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P/TSX 60 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, while striving to offset the carbon footprint of the constituent securities in the portfolio.

The S&P/TSX 60 Index is a portfolio index of the large-cap market segment of the Canadian equity market. The S&P/TSX 60 Index is provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and is a market capitalization-weighted index of securities of its Constituent Issuers. The Index is comprised of 60 of the largest (by market capitalization) and most liquid constituents of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and is generally rebalanced quarterly.

“S&P Dow Jones Indices has been a pioneer in creating sustainable benchmarks from the introduction of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index in 1999 to the launch of the S&P/TSX Composite ESG Index and S&P/TSX 60 ESG Index in Canada last year,” said Aye Soe, Managing Director and Global Head of Product Management at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “As investors continue to stress the importance of indices that incorporate sustainability data and principles, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to bring choice to the market. We’re excited to work with Evolve in licensing the S&P 500® and S&P/TSX 60® for these new ETFs.”

The S&P 500® is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. The S&P 500® is provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and is a market capitalization-weighted index of securities of its Constituent Issuers. The S&P 500® includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. The S&P 500® is also the U.S. component of the S&P Global 1200.

If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Fund as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Fund, listed above.

Evolve Announces World’s First Ether ETF Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTO, April 20, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce the launch of the world’s first Ether ETF (“ETHR”). ETHR has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today under the ticker symbols: ETHR and ETHR.U. As an immediate value opportunity for investors, Evolve is waiving the full 0.75% management fee on ETHR until May 31, 2021.

* Following May 31, 2021, the effective management fee of the Ether ETF will revert back to 0.75% of net asset value, plus applicable sales taxes.

“The launch of the world’s first Ether ETF provides investors with simple and efficient access to the second largest cryptocurrency,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve ETFs. “While Bitcoin is often considered a store of value, Ether via the Ethereum blockchain provides a highly efficient and flexible platform to many different types of smart contracts and decentralized finance. We are very pleased to be working with CF Benchmarks and Gemini in bringing another cryptocurrency investment product to market. The Ether ETF helps round out Evolve’ suite of crypto offerings and gives investors another option in the rapidly growing digital finance marketplace.”

ETHR provides investors with exposure to the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of Ether by utilizing the benefits of the creation and redemption processes offered by the exchange traded fund structure. The daily NAV will be calculated based on the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate (“ETHUSD_RR”), a once-a-day benchmark index price for Ether denominated in U.S. dollars and administered by benchmark administrator, CF Benchmarks Ltd.

Gemini will act as the Sub-Custodian in respect of ETHR’s holdings. ETHR will directly own Ether on the Ethereum blockchain, held in Gemini’s offline, “cold”, storage system and protected in accordance with industry-leading protocols.

“We are excited to partner with Evolve to help bring their Ether ETF to market. Gemini Fund Solutions is proud to support one of the world’s first Ether ETFs by providing world-class clearing, trade execution, and custody services,” said Tyler Winklevoss, CEO of Gemini. “The approval of the Ether ETF gives investors in Canada efficient and secure access to Ethereum, one of the world’s top cryptocurrencies on one of the most innovative blockchains in the industry.”

Evolve Plans To Launch World’s First Ether ETF

TORONTO, April 16, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce that it has filed the final prospectus in plans to launch the world’s first Ether ETF (“ETHR” or the “ETF”). ETHR is expected to begin trading on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), subject to TSX approval. ETHR is designed to provide investors with direct exposure to Ether, currently the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

“We are very excited to have launched one of the world’s first bitcoin ETFs and now plan to launch the world’s first Ether ETF,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “Similar to bitcoin, investors will now be able to trade Ether as simple as buying shares through their bank or brokerage. ETHR will provide daily liquidity, transparency and security through a regulated ETF structure.”

ETHR will invest directly in Ether, the cryptocurrency used to pay for transaction fees and computational services on the Ethereum network, the most actively used blockchain. All Ether transactions are recorded on the Ethereum network, which is a decentralized, open-source blockchain featuring smart contract functionality.

 ETHR provides investors with exposure to the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of Ether by utilizing the benefits of the creation and redemption processes offered by the exchange traded fund structure. ETHR will not seek exposure through derivatives or futures contracts. Gemini Trust Company, LLC (“Gemini”) will act as the Sub-Custodian in respect of ETHR’s holdings of Ether. The ETF will directly own Ether on the Ethereum blockchain, held in Gemini’s cold storage system and protected in accordance with industry-leading protocols.

The daily NAV will be calculated based on the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate (“ETHUSD_RR”), a once-a-day benchmark index price for Ether denominated in U.S. dollars and administered by benchmark administrator, CF Benchmarks Ltd. ETHUSD_RR is currently the settlement index for futures contracts listed by CME Group. CF Benchmarks Ltd is also the index provider for Evolve’s Bitcoin ETF, trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the ticker symbols EBIT and EBIT.U.

“Evolve’s Ether ETF provides resilient exposure through a tried and trusted design – identical to the EBIT Bitcoin ETF – to one of the most mature and exciting cryptocurrency projects in the space to date,” says Sui Chung, CEO at CF Benchmarks Ltd. “By tracking the CME CF Ether Dollar Reference Rate from CF Benchmarks, investors can finally add a regulated and liquid product to their portfolios that tracks the ETH spot price. Regulated financial products are vital for the continuing maturation of the cryptocurrency space.”

ETHR intends to invest in Ether on a passive basis, the ETF’s holdings will not be actively managed and accordingly, will not be hedged or repositioned to attempt to take defensive positions if the price of Ether declines or is expected to decline.

 “The investment process is paramount when investing in Ether,” says Elliot Johnson, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer at Evolve. “This ETF will utilize the same professional and transactional cryptocurrency expertise of world-class custodians, counterparties and vendors, as used in our bitcoin ETF, to ensure investor confidence in their Ether investment.”

 ETHR is available in Canadian dollar denominated unhedged units (TSX Ticker: ETHR), and U.S. dollar denominated unhedged units (TSX Ticker: ETHR.U). ETHR does not seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure in respect of either the USD Units or the CAD Units.

Evolve files Preliminary Prospectus for the World’s First ETFs to Bring Carbon Neutrality to S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500 Indices

TORONTO, April 13, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for the world’s first ETFs to bring carbon neutrality to traditional indices through the newly formed Evolve CleanBeta™ series of ETFs. The Evolve S&P/TSX 60 CleanBeta™ Fund (“SIXT”) and the Evolve S&P 500 CleanBeta™ Fund (“FIVE”) are designed to provide investors with the performance of S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500 Indices, respectively, while striving to offset the carbon footprint of the securities in the portfolios.

“We are very excited to be working with S&P and TMX to introduce the world’s first CleanBeta series of ETFs,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “Carbon Dioxide is the primary contributor to our world’s greenhouse gases. Investors are now demanding that countries and companies work to reduce these emissions, however, this cannot take place overnight. Currently, trying to invest in only carbon neutral companies results in a significant narrowing of the investable universe. Our CleanBeta series of ETFs deliver commonly used traditional indices and strives to offset the carbon emissions from these companies, in order to deliver a clean beta solution.”

SIXT and FIVE seek to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, net of fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P/TSX 60 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, while striving to offset the carbon footprint of the constituent securities in the portfolio.

In order to offset the carbon in these portfolios, Evolve will rely on a carbon footprint calculation provided by S&P Dow Jones utilizing Trucost. Trucost is a division of S&P Global. The data and analysis provided by Trucost will determine the carbon exposure of the companies in the indices. SIXT and FIVE will employ a variety of strategies, including purchasing and retiring carbon credits, as a means to neutralize the full carbon footprints.

The S&P/TSX 60 Index is a portfolio index of the large-cap market segment of the Canadian equity market. The S&P/TSX 60 Index is provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and is a market capitalization-weighted index of securities of its Constituent Issuers. The Index is comprised of 60 of the largest (by market capitalization) and most liquid constituents of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and is generally rebalanced quarterly.

The S&P 500® is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. The S&P 500® is provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and is a market capitalization-weighted index of securities of its Constituent Issuers. The S&P 500® includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. The S&P 500® is also the U.S. component of the S&P Global 1200.

“Over the last several years, investors have been searching for solutions to meet their investment objectives while simultaneously satisfying their environmental responsibilities,” says Elliot Johnson, CIO and COO at Evolve. “Greenhouse gas emissions have become a global challenge with C02 contributing over 30 billion metric tons of emissions a year. While many companies are striving to reduce their carbon footprint, scientists believe we are not moving fast enough.”

SIXT and FIVE are offering the following Units:

Evolve files Preliminary Prospectus for Ether ETF

TORONTO, March 2, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for the Ether ETF (“ETHR” or “the Fund”). ETHR is designed to provide investors with exposure to Ether, currently the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

“As a leader in disruptive innovation, we look forward to providing Canadian investors with access to another leading cryptocurrency through an ETF structure,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO, at Evolve. “Cryptocurrencies are fundamentally transforming digital finance and Evolve is quickly establishing itself as a leading facilitator for investing in this space. Ether is a digital asset that is not issued by any government, bank or central organization and was intended to complement rather than compete with bitcoin.”

The investment objective of ETHR is to provide investors with exposure to the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of Ether while experiencing minimal tracking error by utilizing the benefits of the creation and redemption processes offered by the exchange traded fund structure. The Fund’s portfolio will be priced based on the ETHUSD_RR, a once-a-day benchmark index price for Ether denominated in U.S. dollars and administered by benchmark administrator, CF Benchmarks. The ETHUSD_RR is also currently the settlement index for futures contracts listed by CME Group.

ETHR intends to invest in Ether on a passive basis, the Fund’s holdings will not be actively managed and accordingly, will not be hedged or repositioned to attempt to take defensive positions if the price of Ether declines or is expected to decline. ETHR will not seek exposure through derivatives and does not intend to pay regular cash distributions.

“Ether is the building block for a revolution in digital finance which is still in its infancy,” says Elliot Johnson, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Evolve ETFs. “All Ether transactions are recorded on the Ethereum computer network, which is a decentralized, open-source blockchain featuring smart contract functionality. Ethereum is the most actively used blockchain with Ether being used to pay for transaction fees and computational services.”

ETHR will offer U.S. dollar denominated unhedged units (“USD Units“) and Canadian dollar denominated unhedged units (“CAD Units“). ETHR does not seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure in respect of either the USD Units or the CAD Units.

The Solactive Low Emission Technology Index measures the performance of equity securities of companies that are located in developed markets. All eligible securities that meet certain criteria are ranked based on their share class market capitalization in a descending order.

Evolve Announces Bitcoin ETF Begins Trading on TSX

TORONTO, February 19, 2021

Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce the launch of the Bitcoin ETF (“EBIT”). EBIT has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today under the ticker symbol EBIT.

“The recent institutional adoption has helped further legitimize the progress of bitcoin,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. “Being able to offer an ETF which holds physical bitcoin is a real game changer in Canada. Now investors may participate in bitcoin via their brokerage accounts within their RRSP and TFSA. Bitcoin has proven to be a store of value that is uncorrelated to other major asset classes – and has now emerged as an asset class itself.”

EBIT will provide investors with exposure to the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of bitcoin by utilizing the benefits of the creation and redemption processes offered by the exchange traded fund structure. Investors in EBIT will directly own bitcoin on the Bitcoin blockchain in a cold wallet. Gemini Trust Company, LLC will act as the Sub-Custodian in respect of EBIT’s holdings of bitcoin.

“We are proud to be working with Raj and Evolve ETFs on the launch of one of the first true Bitcoin ETFs in Canada,” says David Abner, Head of Business Development at Gemini Trust Company, LLC. “Crypto presents unique challenges for fund issuers and utilizing Gemini for fund services like custody, execution and clearing provides real comfort to investors. We have a unique understanding of both the ETF and Crypto ecosystems and bring this knowledge to every product we support.”

EBIT will not seek exposure through derivatives or futures contracts. The daily NAV will be based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for bitcoin denominated in U.S. dollars.

“We’re proud to partner with the world’s first regulated crypto benchmark administrator, CF Benchmarks, that offers a fully transparent methodology and relies on real-time data from five Bitcoin exchanges including Gemini, itBit, Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp,” says Elliot Johnson, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer at Evolve ETFs. “The world’s leading crypto currency continues to gain momentum and legitimacy as more and more institutions embrace its value and potential every day.” 

EBIT is available in Canadian dollar-denominated unhedged units (TSX Ticker: EBIT), and U.S. dollar-denominated unhedged units (TSX Ticker: EBIT.U).

Evolve Cleared to Launch Bitcoin ETF

TORONTO, February 16, 2021 – Evolve Funds Group Inc. (“Evolve”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus to launch the Bitcoin ETF (“EBIT” or the “ETF”). EBIT is one of the world’s first physically settled Bitcoin ETFs and will launch on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), subject to TSX approval. EBIT is designed to provide investors with exposure to the world’s leading cryptocurrency bitcoin, by investing directly in bitcoin.

“The Bitcoin ETF is exciting news for investors,” says Raj Lala, President and CEO, Evolve ETFs. “Investors will be able to trade bitcoin on a regulated stock exchange. It will be as simple as buying shares through their bank or brokerage. Unlike the technical challenges of investing in bitcoin, units of EBIT will be safely transacted via a familiar brokerage investing platform. EBIT will provide daily liquidity, transparency and security for directly purchasing bitcoin through a regulated ETF structure.”

EBIT will provide investors with exposure to the daily price movements of the U.S. dollar price of bitcoin. The ETF will not seek exposure through derivatives or futures contracts and will be backed directly by physically settled bitcoin holdings. The ETF’s daily NAV will be based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, a once-a-day benchmark index price for bitcoin denominated in U.S. dollars.

We are very pleased to be working with best-in-class cryptocurrency experts including, Gemini Trust Company, CF Benchmarks, Cidel Trust Company, and CIBC Mellon.”
