  •  The BMO Core Plus Bond Fund will invest in Canadian government and investment grade corporate bonds as well as higher-yielding, fixed-income asset classes. It aims to generate a large amount of interest income and will take a total return approach.

  •  The BMO U.S. Dividend Fund is a US equity fund meant for investors who require both income and long-term capital growth. It is the Canadian dollar version of the existing BMO U.S. Dollar Dividend Fund.
  •  The BMO U.S. Equity Plus Fund is a blue-chip equity fund. It will seek high returns through companies in both Canada and the US.

    • The four ETFs launched by BMO Asset Management are:
