TORONTO
, Feb. 7, 2025 /CNW/ – For the thirteenth consecutive year, several mutual funds managed by TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) were recognized at the annual Fundata Canada Inc. (Fundata) FundGrade A+^® Awards. A combination of 24 TD Mutual Funds, TD Managed Assets Program portfolios and TD Exchange-Traded Funds (TD ETFs) won in their respective categories at the 2024 awards, announced Thursday, February 6, 2025. This represents the most FundGrade A+^® Awards received by investment funds managed by TDAM in a single period.

“We’re honoured to receive recognition again this year from Fundata for multiple TD Mutual Funds, TD Managed Assets Program portfolios and TD ETFs across several categories,” said David Sykes, Chief Investment Officer, TDAM. “These awards speak to the relentless pursuit of strong performance, focus on quality, and a commitment to investment excellence from our diverse portfolio managers and investment teams, as well as their dedication in seeking to add value and meet the diverse needs of Canadian investors.”

The FundGrade A+^® Awards recognize Canadian investment fund products that have maintained an exceptional performance rating over the entire previous calendar year, with only around six percent of investment fund products available in Canada receiving the FundGrade A+^® rating.

The following TD Mutual Funds, TD Managed Assets Program portfolios and TD ETFs were recognized for providing strong risk-adjusted returns relative to industry peers across one or more performance periods:

¹ The Canadian Investment Funds Standards Committee (CIFSC) is a Canadian independent organization that defines the categories of funds. ² Fund Count indicates the number of funds in the category the particular fund is being compared with. ³ The end date for the FundGrade calculation is December 31, 2024.

FundGrade A+® is used with permission from Fundata Canada Inc., all rights reserved. The annual FundGrade A+® Awards are presented by Fundata Canada Inc. to recognize the “best of the best” among Canadian investment funds. The FundGrade A+® calculation is supplemental to the monthly FundGrade ratings and is calculated at the end of each calendar year. The FundGrade rating system evaluates funds based on their risk-adjusted performance, measured by Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and Information Ratio. The score for each ratio is calculated individually, covering all time periods from 2 to 10 years. The scores are then weighted equally in calculating a monthly FundGrade. The top 10% of funds earn an A Grade; the next 20% of funds earn a B Grade; the next 40% of funds earn a C Grade; the next 20% of funds receive a D Grade; and the lowest 10% of funds receive an E Grade. To be eligible, a fund must have received a FundGrade rating every month in the previous year. The FundGrade A+® uses a GPA-style calculation, where each monthly FundGrade from “A” to “E” receives a score from 4 to 0, respectively. A fund’s average score for the year determines its GPA. Any fund with a GPA of 3.5 or greater is awarded a FundGrade A+® Award. For more information, see www.FundGradeAwards.com.
