The rating FundGrade A+® is used with permission from Fundata CanadaInc. All rights reserved. Fundata is a leading provider of stock market and investment fund data to the Canadian financial services industry and business media. The FundGrade A+® rating identifies funds that have consistently demonstrated the best risk-adjusted returns over a full calendar year. The FundGrade A+® calculation is supplemental to the monthly FundGrade ratings and is calculated at the end of each calendar year. The FundGrade rating system evaluates funds based on their risk-adjusted performance, measured by Sharpe, Sortino and information ratios. The score for each ratio is calculated individually, covering each time period from two to tenyears. The scores are then weighted equally by calculating a monthly FundGrade. The FundGrades are divided into 5levels, from “A” (outperforming) to “E” (underperforming). The top 10% of funds earn an AGrade; the next 20% of funds earn a BGrade; the middle 40%, a CGrade; the next 20%, a DGrade; and the bottom 10%, an EGrade. To be eligible, a fund must have received a FundGrade rating every month in the previous year. The FundGrade A+® rating is based on a GPA (grade point average)-style calculation. Monthly FundGrade ratings of “A” to “E” are assigned values of 4 to 0. A fund’s average score determines its GPA. Any fund with a GPA of 3.5 or greater is rated A+.

Financed emissions refer to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from a financial asset, such as shares or corporate bonds. Emissions from investments are attributed to the asset manager according to the proportionate share of the investment in the issuer. The methodology used to calculate financed emissions follows the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), an industry-led partnership established to develop and implement a harmonized approach to quantifying financed emissions.

GHG emissions can be direct or indirect, and are distinguished according to their source over three different scopes:
• Scope 1: emissions that enter the atmosphere as a direct consequence of resources owned and controlled by the organization (e.g. emissions linked to its industrial processes)
• Scope 2: indirect emissions arising from the organization's energy use
• Scope 3: all indirect emissions associated with the organization's value chain, but which cannot be classified as scope 1 or scope 2 emissions

The estimated result on December 31, 2024 represents the change in the ETF's financed emissions relative its index's financed emissions on the base year 2020, calculated using the PCAF methodology. The ETF's financed emissions include those related to scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for all companies in the portfolio, and scope 3 emissions for the energy (oil & gas), mining and chemicals sectors. Total financed emissions are the sum of financed emissions attributed to each company in the portfolio, which are the product of an attribution factor and annual emissions declared by the company. The attribution factor is obtained by calculating the ratio between the value of the units held by the ETF and the value of the company financed. The value of the units held by the ETF is defined on the basis of the market value for listed shares or the book value of the debt for bonds. The company value ("EVIC") is the sum of the market capitalization of common and preferred shares at the end of the last fiscal year, the book value of total debt, minority interests and cash. Data provider MSCI provides reported GHG emissions from portfolio companies. If this datapoint is not available, sector average intensity is used: this is the average intensity per Canadian EVIC dollar by GICS sub-sector, calculated from the emissions data available in the MSCI ACWI IMI index. Data provider Bloombegr provides company values. If this datapoint is not available, MSCI is used.

No representations or warranties, express or implied, are made by Desjardins in connection with the exactitude, quality or completeness of such information and data. Should these differ from official carbon intensity data, the latter will prevail.

Growth of $10,000 chart invested in the indicated Desjardins ETF, is used only to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect or to present future values of the investment fund or returns on investment in the investment fund.

As at June 30, 2024

On September 15, 2023, the ETF’s investment objectives were amended. As a result, the objectives now provide for a gradual reduction of the portfolio’s financed emissions and enhanced management of the active risk.
