Evolve US Equity UltraYield ETF Begins Trading Today on TSX

TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2025 /CNW/ - Evolve Funds Group Inc. ("Evolve" or the "Manager") is pleased to announce the Evolve US Equity UltraYield ETF ("BIGY") has closed its initial offering of units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") today under the ticker symbol: BIGY (CAD Hedged ETF Units).

"BIGY is the first ETF in our new UltraYield™ lineup, built specifically for income-focused investors with distributions paid twice per month," said Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. "By combining our proven covered call writing strategy with modest leverage, BIGY is designed to deliver enhanced income in a convenient one-ticket solution, while providing exposure to a diversified portfolio of leading U.S. companies."

Cash distributions on BIGY are anticipated to be paid twice per month with the first two distributions indicated in the table below.

BIGY seeks to provide attractive income and long-term capital appreciation by investing in an equal-weighted portfolio of leading U.S. equity securities that have the potential to generate significant option premiums. To enhance yield, as well as to mitigate risk and reduce volatility, BIGY will employ a covered call option writing program at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

BIGY will use modest leverage in order to seek to achieve its investment objective. The maximum aggregate leverage of BIGY will not exceed approximately 33%, or 1.33x, of its NAV. Leverage will be created through the use of cash borrowings and/or derivatives, or as otherwise permitted under applicable securities legislation.
