Monthly Distribution Declared for Quadravest Preferred Split Share ETF

TORONTO, Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quadravest Capital Management Inc. (the “Manager”) is pleased to declare a monthly distribution for Quadravest Preferred Split Share ETF (“Preferred ETF”) as follows:

The monthly distribution per unit represents a total of $0.70 annualized based on the initial issue price of $10.00.

The investment objectives of Preferred ETF are to provide unitholders with: (a) monthly distributions and (b) the opportunity for capital preservation, primarily through a portfolio of preferred shares of split share corporations.

Preferred ETF will seek to achieve its investment objectives by investing in an actively managed portfolio of split corp. preferred shares offered by Canadian split share corporations listed on a Canadian exchange. The Preferred ETF may also invest in preferred shares of other issuers, exchange-traded funds, other investment funds, equities or income-generating securities, and securities that are convertible into any of the above noted securities provided such investments are consistent with the Preferred ETF’s investment objectives.

Monthly distributions are targeted and will be set at the Manager’s sole discretion and may be changed or vary in subsequent periods, as announced by the Manager. If the total return on the portfolio of the Preferred ETF is less than the amount necessary to fund the monthly distributions and all expenses of the Preferred ETF, this will result in a portion of the distributions paid to unitholders being a return of the capital to unitholders and a decrease in NAV per unit.

The Manager has assigned Preferred ETF a risk rating of “low”.
