Evolve Announces Risk Rating Changes for Certain Evolve Funds

TORONTO, Aug. 16, 2021 /CNW/ - Evolve Funds Group Inc. ("Evolve") announces the following changes to the risk rating of certain funds (the "Evolve Funds"), as indicated in the table below.

Evolve Funds	Ticker/Symbol	Previous Risk Rating	New Risk Rating
Evolve Cyber Security Index Fund – Unhedged ETF Units	CYBR.B	Medium	Medium to High
Evolve Future Leadership Fund – Unhedged ETF Units	LEAD.B	Medium	Low to Medium

The investment risk level of an ETF and mutual fund (the "Fund") is determined in accordance with a standardized risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the Fund, as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the Fund. If a Fund has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the Fund is calculated using the return history of the Fund, and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the Fund.

No changes have been made to the investment objectives or strategies of the Evolve Funds as a result of the changes to the risk rating. A summary of the risk rating classification methodology, and the investment objectives and strategies of the Evolve Fund, can be found in the most recently filed prospectus for the Evolve Funds, listed above.
