Evolve NASDAQ Technology Index Fund to Begin Trading on July 12, 2023

TORONTO, July 10, 2023 /CNW/ - Evolve Funds Group Inc. ("Evolve") is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus for the Evolve NASDAQ Technology Index Fund ("QQQT" or the "Fund"). QQQT is expected to begin trading on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), subject to TSX approval. QQQT is Canada's first Nasdaq-100® technology-focused ETF designed to provide investors with market cap exposure to only the companies deemed "technology" within the Nasdaq-100 Index®.

"We are very pleased to be working with the Nasdaq to bring this first of its kind product to Canadian investors," says Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve ETFs. "QQQT can be a great portfolio completion tool by providing investors with pure-play access to only the technology sector of the Nasdaq-100 Index®."

QQQT seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Adjusted Market-Cap Weightedtm Index, or any successor thereto (the "Index"). The Index is designed to measure the performance of the technology companies in the Nasdaq-100 Index®, which measures the performance of 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq. The Index consists of a selection of securities in the Nasdaq-100 Index® which must be classified as a "technology company" (i.e., any company classified under the "technology industry") according to the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB). No issuer weight may exceed 10% of the Index.

The Fund will be market-capitalization-weighted and rebalanced quarterly. The following chart sets out the ETF Units for each of the Fund:
