TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) announced Oct. 8 that the proposed mergers of TD Advantage Balanced Income Portfolio into TD Managed Income Portfolio, and TD Advantage Balanced Portfolio into TD Managed Income & Moderate Growth Portfolio, will not proceed.

As a result, TDAM has decided to cap TD Advantage Balanced Income Portfolio and TD Advantage Balanced Portfolio to new purchases on or about Jan. 1, 2020. This includes purchases made through Pre-Authorized Purchase Plans.
