Evolve Global Materials & Mining Enhanced Yield Index ETF to Begin Trading on the TSX June 12, 2019

TORONTO, June 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Evolve Funds Group Inc. ("Evolve" or "Manager") is pleased to announce the launch of the Evolve Global Materials & Mining Enhanced Yield Index ETF ("BASE"). BASE has closed its initial offering of hedged and unhedged units and will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on June 12, 2019 under the following ticker symbols:

The launch of BASE offers Canadian investors the opportunity to participate in the materials and mining sector while enjoying the potential income generation benefits of a covered call strategy.

"We are excited to be launching BASE at a time when emerging markets are anticipated to impact overall global growth," said Elliot Johnson, CIO and COO at Evolve ETFs. "The materials industry is often cyclical and we think it's time for Canadian investors to take another look at the sector."

BASE invests directly or indirectly in equity securities of global issuers engaged in the manufacturing, mining and/or integration of metals and materials, while writing covered call options on up to 33% of the portfolio securities, at the discretion of the manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors. Option writing may have the potential to add value and is an effective way to help lower the level of volatility for investors.

BASE seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the Solactive Materials & Mining Index, or any successor thereto (the "BASE Index"), while mitigating downside risk.

The BASE Index is an index of Solactive AG and is calculated and distributed by Solactive AG. Additional information regarding the BASE Index is available at www.solactive.com
