AGF Investments Announces Results of Special Meeting of Securityholders of AGF Global Sustainable Growth Equity ETF
TORONTO, July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
AGF Investments Inc. (AGF Investments) today announced that following a special meeting, securityholders have approved changes to the investment objective of AGF Global Sustainable Growth Equity ETF (Ticker: AGSG) (the “ETF”).
As previously announced, once implemented the ETF will transition from a broadly focused global sustainable equity mandate to a more targeted energy transition and climate adaptation strategy. This repositioning better aligns the ETF’s investment approach with evolving market opportunities and investor demand, while providing more differentiated exposure to companies that are directly contributing to the reduction of environmental impact and the development of solutions supporting the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
The new investment objective is anticipated to be implemented on or about August 19. 2026 and the following additional changes will be made to the ETF concurrent with the change to the investment objective:
-
Investment strategies updated to align with the new investment objective;
-
Updated risk factors to reflect the change in investment objective and investment strategies;
-
Name change to AGF Energy Transition and Adaptation ETF, to reflect the ETF’s new investment objective;
-
Ticker symbol change to “ATAP” to better reflect the ETF’s new name;
-
Risk rating change from “medium” to “high”; and
-
Updated reference indices for determining the risk rating of the ETF.

AGF Investments intends to file an amendment to the prospectus of the ETF on July 30, 2026 to implement the investment objective change and other ancillary changes described in the information circular, with such changes to become effective on or about August 19, 2026. As a result of the objective change, the ETF will be removed from the list of ESG-Focused ETFs, reflecting the ETF’s revised investment objective and strategy. As a result, the ETF will no longer employ an ESG-focused investment strategy as a defining feature of its investment process.
The prospectus amendment will also change the risk rating of the ETF from “medium” to “high”. In addition, the prospectus amendment will provide that the S&P Global Clean Energy Transition Index will be used as the reference index for the period prior to March 1, 2023, and the Solactive US Energy Transition and Adaptation Opportunities Index will be used as the reference index after March 1, 2023. The risk rating and reference index changes will also become effective on or about August 19, 2026.
