• The proposed ETFs will replicate regional TC Quant Indices

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 27, 2026) – LongPoint Asset Management Inc. (“LongPoint“) and Trading Central Canada Inc.(“Trading Central“) are pleased to announce that they have filed the preliminary prospectus for the listing of the following four ETFs, designed to replicate regional TC Quant Indices:

Name of ETF	Ticker Symbol
Trading Central Quant Canada 50 Equity Index ETF	TCCA
Trading Central Quant U.S. 50 Equity Index ETF	TCUS
Trading Central Quant Europe 50 Equity Index ETF	TCEU
Trading Central Quant Global 50 Equity Index ETF	TCWW

 

collectively, the Trading Central ETFs

The proposed Trading Central ETFs are expected to increase the number of products launched under LongPoint’s unique ETF partnership platform to nine. LongPoint works with partner firms, primarily asset managers and index providers, to bring differentiated investment mandates to the Canadian market through ETF and mutual fund offerings. LongPoint’s flexible platform simplifies the launch and ongoing operation of ETFs, often a complex and commercially challenging process for many asset managers, by leveraging deep industry relationships and local market expertise. This enables partners to focus on portfolio strategy, sales, and marketing.

“LongPoint is thrilled to be working with Trading Central as co-promoters to develop these unique ETFs. Combining LongPoint’s ETF expertise with Trading Central’s expertise building quant based equity strategies and indices is expected to provide appealing ETF opportunities for Canadian equity investors,” said Steve Hawkins, CEO of LongPoint. “We are pleased to see the benefits from our flexible ETF platform, allowing a global organization like Trading Central to focus on their own areas of expertise while we manage and administer the operations of the ETFs.”

As disclosed in the preliminary prospectus, the investment objectives of the Trading Central ETFs are as follows:

TCCA
TCCA seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of a Canadian equity focused index. Currently, TCCA seeks to track the Solactive TC Quant CA 50 Index, before fees and expenses.

TCUS
TCUS seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of a United States equity focused index. Currently, TCUS seeks to track the Solactive TC Quant US Index, before fees and expenses.

TCEU
TCEU seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of a European equity focused index. Currently, TCEU seeks to track the Solactive TC Quant EU 50 Index, before fees and expenses.

TCWW
TCWW seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of a global equity focused index. Currently, TCWW seeks to track the Solactive TC Quant WW 50 Index, before fees and expenses.

The investment strategy of a Trading Central ETF is currently to invest in and hold the constituent securities of the applicable TC Quant Index in the same proportion as they are reflected in that index.

Trading Central’s parent company, Trading Central SA, and Solactive AG (“Solactive“) partnered to create and launch the TC Quant Index family, comprising the Solactive TC Quant EU 50 Index, the Solactive TC Quant US 50 Index, the Solactive TC Quant CA 50 Index, and the Solactive TC Quant WW 50 Index (the “TC Quant Indices“). Built on Trading Central SA’s proprietary TC Quantamental Rating® process, the TC Quant Indices provide systematic hypothetical exposure to 50 high-scoring companies in each respective region (Canada, the United States, Europe and Globally), translating Trading Central SA’s data-driven research into benchmark indices. Trading Central SA and/or its subsidiaries will provide ongoing information to Solactive concerning the selection of the index components of each of the TC Quant Indices.

“These ETFs will mark Trading Central Group’s first foray into the global ETF market, and we are proud to take that step in Canada alongside LongPoint, an innovative ETF manager with deep operational expertise and long standing industry connections,” said Alain Pellier, CEO of Trading Central SA. “These ETFs are expected to offer Canadian investors unique access to the TC Quant Indices and provide systematic exposure to 50 high-scoring companies in each region.”

The annual management fees of the Trading Central ETFs, plus applicable sales tax, calculated and accrued daily and payable monthly in arrears, are as follows:

Trading Central ETF	Management Fee
TCCA	0.75%
TCUS	0.75%
TCEU	0.85%
TCWW	0.85%

A copy of the preliminary prospectus is available on www.sedarplus.ca.
