Brompton Announces the Launch of Brompton Wellington Square AAA CLO ETF

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

TORONTO, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (TSX: BAAA; BAAA.U) Brompton Funds Limited (the “Manager”) is pleased to announce that Brompton Wellington Square AAA CLO ETF (“BAAA”) will commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) today. A final prospectus dated April 10, 2025 has been filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each province and territory in Canada.

The investment objectives of BAAA are to provide unitholders with high monthly income and capital preservation through investment in a portfolio of primarily AAA rated collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). BAAA seeks to hedge substantially all of its direct exposure to foreign currencies back to the Canadian dollar. However, any exposure that BAAA’s assets allocable to the USD units have to foreign currencies will not be hedged back to the Canadian dollar. BAAA will seek to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a portfolio of CLOs selected by Wellington Square Advisors Inc., the investment sub-advisor to BAAA, generally ranging in credit quality from AAA to BBB, with a minimum of 75% of BAAA’s portfolio invested in AAA rated CLOs. Up to 10% of BAAA’s portfolio may from time to time be tactically invested in CLOs rated less than BBB. All ratings are measured as at the time of investment.

Wellington Square Advisors Inc. (“Wellington Square”) is a Toronto-based independent investment advisory led by portfolio managers Jeff Sujitno and Amar Dhanoya. Wellington Square has invested in CLOs for over 10 years with certain staff having specialized expertise gained from working for CLO managers.

The Manager has assigned BAAA a risk rating of “low”. For further details, please refer to BAAA’s ETF Facts document available on www.sedarplus.ca or on BAAA’s home page at www.bromptongroup.com.
