Desjardins lists two fixed-income ETFs on TSX

Desjardins has listed two fixed-income ETFs on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Desjardins US Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index ETF (DUIG) began trading on May 19, 2026. The Desjardins Global Government Bond Index ETF (DGGB) listed on June 2, 2026. Both funds track Solactive indexes and report returns in Canadian dollars.

DUIG follows the Solactive Quarterly Select USD Investment Grade Corporate CAD TR Index. That index uses the Solactive USD Investment Grade Corporate Index as its starting universe and selects a representative subset of about 500 bonds across rating and modified-duration segments. It prioritizes issues with larger amounts outstanding, is market-value weighted and rebalances quarterly.

DGGB tracks the Solactive G7 Government Bond CAD TR Index, which is derived from the Solactive Broad Global Developed Government Bond TR EUR Index. The G7 index selects eligible local-currency sovereign bonds from G7 countries. Eligible bonds and maturities are chosen based on amount outstanding converted to Canadian dollars and are subject to liquidity and other eligibility rules. The index rebalances quarterly.

Solactive said both benchmarks were designed with a focus on liquid, relevant bonds and on implementation efficiency. The corporate index is structured to provide representative coverage of the USD investment-grade corporate bond market while keeping the universe manageable for replication. The G7 index provides developed-market sovereign exposure in local currencies, reported in Canadian dollars.

“We are pleased to deepen our relationship with Desjardins through the launch of these two fixed income ETFs. Building on our previous collaborations across Desjardins’ ETF offering in Canada, these new products broaden the partnership into additional fixed income exposures. Across both benchmarks, implementation efficiency was an important consideration, reflected in quarterly rebalancing and a focus on the most relevant and liquid bonds within the respective market,” commented Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive.

The listings extend a series of index partnerships between Solactive and Desjardins in the Canadian ETF market, adding USD corporate and G7 sovereign bond exposures that report performance in Canadian dollars and are intended for investors seeking rules-based, liquid fixed-income strategies.
