Purpose Investments Announces Unitholder Approval of Proposal to Expand the Investment Objectives of Purpose High Interest Savings Fund

Purpose Investments Inc. (“Purpose”) is pleased to announce that unitholders of the Purpose High Interest Savings Fund (the “Fund”), the world’s first high-interest savings ETF, have approved a proposal to expand the Fund’s investment objectives to provide the Fund with the ability to also invest in high-quality money market securities.

Purpose does not anticipate any immediate change to the holdings of the Fund and plans to continue to operate the Fund as it has since its inception. The Fund will continue to deposit its assets in high interest deposit accounts with Schedule I Canadian Banks for the foreseeable future. The ability to invest in high-quality money market securities and/or funds is only expected to be used if necessary to ensure the Fund continues to provide unitholders with attractive yields.

While there will be no change to the underlying holdings of the Fund in the near term, Purpose believes that the expansion of the Fund’s investment objectives will provide unitholders with several benefits, including providing the Fund with the flexibility to diversify its portfolio holdings with high-quality short-term fixed-income investments, if needed in the long term which should benefit the Fund and its Unitholders through market cycles.
