MONTREAL , June 17, 2025 /CNW/ - National Bank Investments Inc. ("NBI") announced today the launch of exchange-traded series ("ETF Series") for the NBI Target 2026 Investment Grade Bond Fund, the NBI Target 2027 Investment Grade Bond Fund, and the NBI Target 2028 Investment Grade Bond Fund (the "NBI Funds"). The NBI Funds have closed their initial offering of ETF Series units, and they will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") today.

"The launch of new ETF series for the NBI Target Maturity Bond Funds underscores our commitment to offering investors more choice when it comes to portfolio construction," said Martin Felton, Vice-President, National Sales at National Bank Investments. "They provide investors seeking fixed income exposure solutions that aim to generate attractive and tax-efficient yields while benefitting from the intraday liquidity of ETFs."

The NBI Funds' investment objective is to provide current income and preserve capital over a predetermined period. Each NBI Fund invests, directly or indirectly through investments in securities of other mutual funds, in a portfolio comprised primarily of investment-grade debt securities of North American issuers with an effective maturity date in 2026 (NTGA), 2027 (NTGB) or 2028 (NTGC). As target maturity funds, the NBI Funds have a predetermined, specified lifespan. It is anticipated that each NBI Fund will be terminated on or about the termination date indicated in the table above or at an earlier date upon not less than 60 days' notice to unitholders.
