TD Q U.S. Low Volatility ETF

TD Q U.S. Low Volatility ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund focused on U.S. equities, operated by TD Asset Management Inc. The primary goal of this ETF is to deliver long-term capital growth while aiming to reduce overall portfolio volatility. It achieves this by investing in a diversified selection of U.S. stocks that are selected for their historically lower volatility, with a management strategy that overweights less volatile securities and underweights those with higher volatility, as determined by historical standard deviation and inter-stock correlation analyses. The ETF spans a broad range of sectors, with notable allocations to financial services, consumer goods, healthcare, utilities, and telecommunications, reflecting its diversification across market segments. The portfolio typically includes about 80–85 holdings and distributes dividends on a quarterly basis. TD Q U.S. Low Volatility ETF does not track a specific underlying index, but it benchmarks its performance relative to the MSCI USA Minimum Volatility (USD) Index, aligning with its objective to moderate risk while seeking growth. Its medium risk rating acknowledges the ETF’s balanced approach between risk and return. The fund is structured as a Canadian mutual fund trust and is targeted at investors seeking a smoother equity return profile within the U.S. market.
