TORONTO, Feb. 6, 2026 /CNW/ - For the 14^th consecutive year, several investment funds managed by TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) were recognized at the annual Fundata Canada Inc. (Fundata) FundGrade A+^® Awards. A combination of 24 TD Mutual Funds, TD Managed Assets Program portfolios and TD Exchange-Traded Funds (TD ETFs) won in their respective categories at the 2025 awards, announced Thursday, February 5, 2026. This equals the highest number of FundGrade A+^®  Awards ever received by TDAM-managed investment funds in a single year, matching last year's total.

"We're honoured to receive recognition again this year from Fundata for multiple TD Mutual Funds and TD ETFs across several categories and time periods," said David Sykes, Chief Investment Officer, TDAM. "Being recognized consistently is a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence from our portfolio managers and investment teams across our broad array of capabilities. Receiving 14 awards for our TD ETF lineup demonstrates our growing influence in this space—as does passing the $30 billion threshold in assets under management (AUM) within our TD ETF lineup.¹  Our mutual fund awards also reaffirm our leadership in the broader asset management landscape, and collectively we now manage over $530 billion in total AUM across all of our investment offerings.¹ What matters most, however, is placing clients at the center of everything we do. Whether it's saving for retirement, funding education, or building generational wealth, TDAM is committed to helping clients achieve their goals."

The FundGrade A+^® Awards recognize Canadian investment funds that have consistently demonstrated the best risk-adjusted returns throughout an entire calendar year.

FundGrade A+^® is used with permission from Fundata Canada Inc., all rights reserved. The annual FundGrade A+^® Awards are presented by Fundata Canada Inc. to recognize the "best of the best" among Canadian investment funds. The FundGrade A+^® calculation is supplemental to the monthly FundGrade ratings and is calculated at the end of each calendar year.

The FundGrade rating system evaluates funds based on their risk-adjusted performance, measured by Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and Information Ratio. The score for each ratio is calculated individually, covering all time periods from 2 to 10 years. The scores are then weighted equally in calculating a monthly FundGrade. The top 10% of funds earn an A Grade; the next 20% of funds earn a B Grade; the next 40% of funds earn a C Grade; the next 20% of funds receive a D Grade; and the lowest 10% of funds receive an E Grade. To be eligible, a fund must have received a FundGrade rating every month in the previous year. The FundGrade A+^® uses a GPA-style calculation, where each monthly FundGrade from "A" to "E" receives a score from 4 to 0, respectively. A fund's average score for the year determines its GPA. Any fund with a GPA of 3.5 or greater is awarded a FundGrade A+^® Award. For more information, see www.FundGradeAwards.com.

Commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund and/or exchange- traded fund ("ETF") investments (collectively, "the Funds").
