A Canadian Equity Universe With Issuer Constraints

EWC tracks the MSCI Canada Custom Capped Index. The benchmark is designed to measure broad Canadian equity exposure and applies limits on issuer weights. Its country focus brings Canadian companies together within a US-listed vehicle.

The fund uses representative sampling, selecting investments intended to resemble the benchmark’s overall characteristics. It may therefore hold a different collection of securities from the index while seeking a similar Investment profile.

Portfolio Composition and Exposure

EWC reported 81 holdings as of 30 October 2026. Its allocation by Market Value included Financials at 40.30%, Energy at 18.06% and Materials at 13.42% as of 30 October 2026.

The fact sheet dated 30 September 2026 identified holdings including Royal Bank of Canada at 9.15%, Toronto Dominion at 6.52% and Shopify Subordinate Voting Class A at 6.02%. These position weights refer to that reporting date and can change as the portfolio and market values evolve.

The same fact sheet reported a P/E ratio of 21.26x and a P/B ratio of 2.87x. These valuation measures complement the holdings information with Earnings and book-value characteristics associated with the equity portfolio.

Fees and Distribution Policy

The published expense ratio is 0.50%. The management fee is 0.49%. Distributions are scheduled semi-annually.

The 30-day SEC Yield was 1.33% as of 30 September 2026. This standardised income measure reflects the fund’s recent income after expenses; it is separate from changes in the market value of its shares.

The prospectus notes that brokerage commissions and other intermediary charges may apply separately. Fund shares trade at market prices, which can differ from NAV, so the stated NAV does not establish the price of every exchange transaction.
