ATB Investment Management Inc. announces the launch of its Compass Premium Series for the Compass Portfolios

EDMONTON, Alberta, May 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATB Investment Management Inc. ("ATBIM") announced today the launch of its Compass Portfolio Premium Series, a lower fee fund investment option for high net worth household clients of ATB Securities Inc., which, subject to regulatory approval, will be available through a new Series P of each of the Compass Conservative Portfolio, Compass Conservative Balanced Portfolio, Compass Balanced Portfolio, Compass Balanced Growth Portfolio, Compass Growth Portfolio and Compass Maximum Growth Portfolio (the "Compass Portfolios"). Series P are designed for certain high net worth investors with fee-based accounts with ATB Securities Inc., the principal distributor of the Compass Portfolios.

Series P unitholders of the Compass Portfolios will benefit from lower management fees as compared to Series F1:

The minimum initial investment for Series P units is $3,000,000. To be eligible to invest in Series P, an investor can combine investments in the Compass Portfolios held in certain eligible accounts, as follows (each, an "Eligible Account"):

• an account belonging to the investor;
• an account belonging to the investor's spouse residing at the same address as the investor ("Spouse");
• an account belonging to the investor and Spouse jointly;
• an account belonging to a dependent minor residing at the same address as the investor;
• an account belonging to an adult dependent on the investor, regardless of whether the adult resides at the same address (e.g., an adult child attending a post-secondary institution); and
• an account belonging to a corporation of which the investor or Spouse own more than 50% of the equity, and controls more than 50% of the voting shares, which corporation has its registered office at the same address at which the investor resides.

Each investor is responsible for ensuring their advisor is aware of all Eligible Accounts that should be linked in order to meet the minimum investment requirement for Series P. ATBIM will link Eligible Accounts only after the advisor has communicated an investor's Eligible Account information to ATBIM.
