The TQCD Advantage

The Quantitative Team (the “Team”) at TD Asset Management Inc. (“TDAM”) was established over 25 years ago to pursue opportunities that could generate growth and income, while managing risk for long term investors. The Team recognizes that no single investment style can outperform across every market cycle, so they combine multiple factors and tools to help smooth returns.

  • Data-Driven
    Insights

    The Team systematically evaluates hundreds of securities to spot patterns that may be overlooked by traditional analysis, selecting profitable companies with rising dividends and solid cash flow.

  • Risk
    Controls

    TQCD has maximum security weights, sector and yield constraints, and other risk limits to help keep the ETF diversified and manage risk exposure.


     

  • Higher Quality/
    Higher Allocation

    Unlike many dividend & income ETFs that use market-cap or yield weighting, TQCD uses a quality‑based weighting approach, giving higher weights to companies with stronger quality characteristics.

Protecting the Downside

TD Q Canadian Dividend ETF (TQCD) 5 Year Downside vs. Benchmark

Source: TD Asset Management Inc., FactSet Research Systems Inc., Research Systems. As of December 31, 2025. The drawdown chart shows the decline in the value of an investment from its peak to its lowest point over a specific period. It illustrates the extent and duration of losses, helping investors understand the risk associated with an investment strategy or portfolio.

A key feature of the dividend strategies at TDAM is their focus on downside protection, and TQCD is no exception. The companies selected for TQCD are typically larger, more mature firms with a history of paying and growing dividends over time. This focus on stable, dividendpaying companies helps to mitigate risk and can provide downside protection.

Portfolio construction techniques further reinforce this resilience by emphasizing quality metrics such as dividend growth, return on equity, and cash flow generation. While reducing volatility is not their primary goal, specifically investing in companies with quality metrics often results in lower downside risk compared to benchmarks.

The Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Ratings (MRARs), commonly referred to as the Star Rating, relates the risk-adjusted performance of a fund to its peers within the same CIFSC Fund Category for the period ended as noted and are subject to change monthly. Morningstar calculates ratings for categories with at least 20 funds. To determine a fund’s rating, the fund and its peers are ranked by their MRARs. If a fund scores in the top 10% of its category, it receives five stars (High); if it falls in the next 22.5%, it receives four stars (Above Average); the next 35% earns a fund three stars (Neutral or Average); those in the next 22.5% receive two stars (Below Average); and the lowest 10% receive one star (Low). The Overall Rating is a weighted combination of the 3, 5, and 10-year ratings. For greater detail, see www.morningstar.ca.

Quartile rankings are intended to measure how well a fund has performed compared to other funds in its peer group. Quartile rankings are compiled by ranking all of the funds in a category by return over a given time period. The top performing 25% of funds in the category are assigned a quartile ranking of 1, the next 25% a 2, the next 25% a 3, and the bottom 25% of funds a 4. Quartile rankings can change over time.
