AGF Investments Launches AGF Enhanced U.S. Equity Income Fund

TORONTO, Aug. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AGF Investments Inc. (AGF Investments) (TSX:AGF.B) today announced that it is expanding its line-up with the launch of AGF Enhanced U.S. Equity Income Fund, which effective today is available as a mutual fund with an ETF series option.

"This fund seeks to provide investors long-term capital appreciation while mitigating volatility and generating consistent income through the use of a dynamic option overlay strategy," said Karrie Van Belle, Chief Marketing & Innovation Officer, AGF Investments. "Further, as we take a more vehicle agnostic approach, this is the first in a series of strategies we expect to launch, allowing investors to access our capabilities in a mutual fund with ETF series."

AGF Enhanced U.S. Equity Income Fund provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying U.S. equity securities combined with an actively managed option writing strategy that seeks to provide enhanced income potential and mitigate volatility. The fund will pay a tax-efficient, fixed monthly distribution.

In the future, AGF Investments intends to expand its ETF series line-up and expects to initially list ETF series later this fall of its existing mutual funds AGF Total Return Bond Fund, AGF Global Real Assets Fund and AGF U.S. Small Mid Cap Fund.
