TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2024 /CNW/ - BMO Global Asset Management ("BMO GAM") today announced the following changes to its product offering:

Portfolio Manager Change

Effective on or about October 18, 2024, BMO Asset Management Inc. will replace PIMCO Canada Corp. as portfolio manager of BMO Global Strategic Bond Fund. As a consequence of this change, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC will no longer act as sub-advisor to this fund.

Series Switches and Terminations  

BMO GAM intends to switch each series of securities identified as a "Terminating Series" in the following table into the corresponding Continuing Series for the relevant fund on or about November 22, 2024:

Fund	Terminating Series	Continuing Series
BMO Asset Allocation Fund	Classic Series	Advisor Series
BMO Canadian Equity ETF Fund	Series G	Series A
BMO Diversified Income Portfolio	Series R	Series T6

As a result of these switches, investors will benefit from enhanced scale and, in the case of each fund other than BMO Global Monthly Income Fund, the Continuing Series has a lower cost of ownership compared to its corresponding Terminating Series.
