TD Asset Management celebrated the launch of their new ETFs by participating in a market opening ceremony at Toronto Stock Exchange on 27 November 2019.
The ETFs are all actively managed and deliver a range of equity, fixed income, and real estate exposures.
Equities
The TD Q Canadian Dividend ETF (TQCD CN) seeks to earn income and moderate capital growth by investing in dividend-paying common stocks, preferred securities, and real estate investment trusts listed in Canada.

The TD Q Global Dividend ETF (TQGD CN) is similar to the TD Q Canadian Dividend ETF but targets income securities listed worldwide. It comes with an expense ratio of 0.40%.
The TD Q US Small-Mid Cap Equity ETF (TQSM CN) seeks long-term capital growth by investing in equity securities of small and medium-sized US companies. The portfolio is expected to contain a large number of securities, diversified across all sectors.
