Investment Objectives

Seeks to provide income and the potential for moderate long-term capital appreciation, primarily by investing in ETFs that provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of global equity and fixed income securities.

Investment Strategy

The BMO ETF’s asset class weightings will be approximately 60% in fixed income securities and 40% in equity securities. As an alternative to or in conjunction with investing directly in ETFs, exposure may be obtained by investing directly in equity and fixed income securities, in mutual funds and/or in derivative instruments.
