* Represents aggregate AUM of all classes denominated in Canadian dollars.

** The current yield represents an annualized amount that comprised of 12 unchanged monthly distributions (the announced distribution of 0.15 cents multiplied by 12) as a percentage of the closing market price. The current yield does not represent historical returns of the ETF but represents the distribution an investor would receive if the targeted distribution stayed the same going forward.

*** Based on weighted average portfolio of underlying US Treasury Bond ETF holdings. Generally, modified duration can be defined as a measure that assesses a bond's interest rate sensitivity. It is a time-weighted measure that estimates the percentage change in a bond's price for a 1% change in yield.
