ETF BMO

BMO ETFs are managed and managed by BMO Asset Management Inc., a mutual fund manager and portfolio manager, a separate legal entity from the Bank of Montreal. Investing in exchange traded funds may incur fees, administration and expenses.

How do ETFs work?

Just like a stock, ETFs are traded on a stock exchange and bought or sold directly during normal trading hours through your advisor or trading platform. What sets them apart is that they’re structured as a basket of securities that can hold stocks, bonds or other assets like commodities. The asset mix of an ETF typically aims to provide exposure to an asset class.

Why BMO ETFs?

BMO is one of the largest ETF providers in Canada. BMO ETF products cover a wide array of investor needs and are managed by global industry professionals.
