TORONTO, Feb. 2, 2026 /CNW/ - SLGI Asset Management Inc. ("Sun Life Global Investments") today announced the launch of two new exchange-traded series, (the "ETF series") strengthening its ETF series lineup and providing more options for Canadians. The following ETF series will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange at the market open today. Each fund has closed the initial offering of ETF series units, and details of the two funds offering ETF series units are provided below:

Fund Name	Ticker Symbol	Management Fee
SLGI MFS Blended Research Low Vol Global Fund – ETF Series*	SBLG	0.50 %
SLGI MFS Blended Research Low Vol International Fund – ETF Series*	SBLI	0.50 %

*Effective January 12, 2026, the Sun Life MFS Low Volatility Global Equity Fund was renamed SLGI MFS Blended Research Low Vol Global Fund, and the Sun Life MFS Low Volatility International Equity Fund was renamed SLGI MFS Blended Research Low Vol International Fund.  Their investment objectives and strategies remain unchanged.

SLGI MFS Blended Research Low Vol Global Fund – ETF Series (TSX: SBLG) seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with low volatility by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers located anywhere in the world, or indirectly by investing in mutual funds (including exchange-traded funds) that invest primarily in such securities.

SLGI MFS Blended Research Low Vol International Fund – ETF Series (TSX: SBLI) seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with low volatility by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers outside Canada and the United States, or indirectly by investing in mutual funds (including exchange-traded funds) that primarily invest in such securities.

The introduction of these new ETF series represents another enhancement to the two MFS Blended Research Low Vol funds, building on the recently announced management fee reductions. Both funds were also renamed to better reflect the proprietary Blended Research approach used by Sun Life Global Investments' sub-advisor, MFS Investment Management (MFS).
