Our ETFs use an optimised approach based on the VLI (Very Liquid Index) subset of the Barclays index. They provide the yield and duration benefits of corporate bonds coupled with currency hedged global diversification. Corporate bonds The economic developments of recent years have seen yields of government debt fall to record low levels. Corporate bonds offer investors the opportunity of a higher return while still meeting their duration requirements. We expect institutions to continue, and even accelerate, a shift in allocation to corporate bonds, driving returns in the asset class. Maturity bands BMO Global Asset Management are introducing an innovative approach by launching a series of ETFs split over the maturity spectrum. This gives investors the ability to implement a precise positioning strategy within the corporate universe. Hedged global diversification These ETFs offer diversification globally, across country and issuer while removing the additional volatility of currency movements. By embedding a currency hedging strategy, investors are able to mitigate the effects of currency fluctuations. Returns are derived from corporate bond exposure. Partnering with Barclays We have partnered with Barclays, a global leader in fixed income indices who offer unmatched market coverage. Our suite of precise corporate ETFs are benchmarked to indices with VLI filters; offering investors diversified, global, fixed interest exposure with the added flexibility of maturity banding.

PAGE 2 Precision Investing with ETFs Given the current low yield environment, there is a greater need for investors to have the flexibility to position where they want to be on the yield curve and to change the overall duration of their portfolios to manage yield and to reduce volatility. BMO Global Asset Management has launched a suite of innovative investment grade global corporate bond ETFs offering a spectrum of maturity bands allowing investors to precisely position their portfolios on the yield curve. Additionally, a high yield bond ETF compliments this product suite. These innovative instruments can help absorb interest rate moves effectively. Diversification Global exposure Precision Maturity bands enable: Access to credit spread differentials Curve targeting Duration management Risk Control Currency hedged Our suite of fixed income ETFs provides convenient and efficient exposure to global corporate and high yield bonds, offering liquidity, yield and diversification tapping into global yield opportunities with the benefit of added currency hedging. Strategic and tactical investment decisions are now possible through our full suite of targeted ETFs in the form of maturity bands. Innovative Indices The Very Liquid Index (VLI) provides a narrower subset of the Barclays broad-based flagship index, the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index. The VLI follows the same eligibility criteria as the index on which it is based, but only includes recently issued bonds with a higher minimum per amount outstanding and restricts inclusion by issuer to only their largest issue or issues. The VLI offers similar exposure to the same maturity subset of the broad index. The VLI benchmarks enable the construction of portfolios with improved operational efficiency when accessing global corporate and high yield bond markets. This allows for better trading efficiency within the portfolios while maintaining broad diversification of a global portfolio. VLI index construction Improved tradability Universe Sector Amount outstanding Largest issue constraint Parent Index: Bond Index Incorporating only corporate issuers: Corporate Bond Index Min US$ 750m issuance (Corporate Bonds) Min US$ 500m or equivalent issue size (High Yield) 3 largest bonds per issuer and amount outstanding Seasoning cap Less than five years seasoning to ensure there is a liquid market for the issue Issuer cap VLI 2% issuer cap to ensure diversification BMO Corporate Bond ETFs track the Barclays VLI Global Corporate Bonds Additional Screens: Must be rated investment grade Segmented by maturity band Global High Yield Bonds Additional Screens: Must be rated high yield (Ba1 or lower) Maturity greater than one year Excludes 4a securities (private placement exemption from registration) USD, EUR, GBP, CHF and SEK eligible securities The ETFs provide precision tools to gain exposure to different segments of the corporate bond yield curve, supporting flexible portfolio construction, i.e. liability matching or to express specific views, thus permitting tactical positioning to varying sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. The index is rebalanced on a monthly basis to include qualifying new issues and remove any bonds that may have fallen out of the required screen.

PAGE 4 Maturity bands and VLI filtering Liquidity matters, particularly during times of credit stress. Selecting a VLI filter of the parent universe has a positive impact on the improvement of the intrinsic trading costs of the index components measured by the Barclays Liquidity Cost Score (LCS) metric*. The VLI benchmarks aim to reduce tracking error and introduce lower replication costs versus using the parent, broad market universe. The graphs below demonstrate for all 4 instruments, consistent returns of the filtered benchmarks and the reduction of the liquidity cost score. The shaded area on the liquidity cost score graphs show the period of the financial crisis. The returns graphs show index levels, rebalanced to 100 on 30 tember 2005.

PAGE 6 Currency Hedging When investing in global bonds, currency fluctuations typically have a meaningful impact on portfolio returns. Investors are implicitly taking bets on currency movements. Hedging currency risk can significantly reduce the return volatility of global bond investments, giving investors better risk control; by removing currency volatility, returns can be attributed solely to performance of the credit exposure. BMO Global Corporate Bond and Global High Yield Bond UCITS ETFs with embedded currency hedging aim to provide investors with smoother returns over time. Currency dominates performance in the unhedged index in GBP terms.

However, within the high yield asset class, credit risk is a stronger driver of performance than currency risk for unhedged returns and, furthermore, currency risk can act as a diversifier for credit risk. By way of example, in the financial crisis of 2008/2009, US dollar strength coincided with losses in high yield markets, and the reverse was true in the immediate aftermath of the crisis.
