TORONTO , June 23, 2025 /CNW/ - RBC Global Asset Management Inc. ("RBC GAM Inc.") today announced a change to the investment strategies and a management fee reduction for RBC Quant Emerging Markets Dividend Leaders ETF (TSX: RXD/RXD.U) (the "ETF").

Effective today, the investment strategies of the ETF have been changed to allow it to invest up to 100% of its assets in one or more emerging markets exchange-traded funds.

In connection with the change to the investment strategies of the ETF, effective today, the management fee for the ETF has been reduced as outlined in the table below:
