  Portfolio Strategy
BMO Short Corporate Bond Index ETF has been designed to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the DEX Short Term Corporate Bond Index, net of expenses. BMO Short Corporate Bond ETF invests in a variety of debt securities primarily with a term to maturity between one and five years. Securities held in the Index are generally corporate bonds issued domestically in Canada in Canadian dollars, with an investment grade rating.

Benchmark Info
The DEX Short Term Corporate Bond Index consists of semi-annual pay fixed rate corporate bonds denominated in Canadian dollars, with an effective term to maturity less than five years but greater than one year, a credit rating of BBB or higher and minimum size requirement of $100 million per issue. The corporate sector is divided into sub-sectors based on major industry groups: Financial, Communication, Industrial, Energy, Infrastructure, Real Estate and Securitization. Each security in the index is weighted by its relative market capitalization and rebalanced on a daily basis.

 1 Weighted Average Current Yield: The market value weighted average coupon divided by the weighted average market price of the bonds.
 2 Weighted Average Yield to Maturity: The market value weighted average yield to maturity includes the coupon payments and any capital gain or loss that the investor will realize by holding the bonds to maturity.
