BIDEN: HOW THE U.S. ELECTION COULD IMPACT MARKETS - MAY 15, 2024 Chris Heakes MFin, CFA, Director, ETF Portfolio Manager Matt Montemurro Head of Fixed Income and Equity Index ETFs May 15, 2024 * * * * * * * * With the 2024 U.S. presidential election just under six months away, headlines are heating up. In today’s episode, Portfolio Managers Chris Heakes, Matt Montemurro, and your host, Mckenzie Box, explore what the outcome could mean for your investments. They also discuss oil prices, opportunities outside of Canada, and the latest U.S. inflation print. McKenzie Box is Vice President of Product Management and Strategy at BMO Global Asset Management. She is joined on the podcast by Chris Heakes and Matt Montemurro, Portfolio Managers and ETF Specialists at BMO Global Asset Management. The episode was recorded live on Wednesday, May 15, 2024. * * * * EPISODE SUMMARY Upcoming U.S. Elections We’re just six month away from the U.S. presidential election in November and whether it is a Republican or Democrat win, it doesn’t change the fact that the U.S. has one of the strongest economies and consumers, which in the long term is positive for U.S. equities. Both Biden and Trump have an element of protectionism that has come out of deglobalization. That along with taxes are both big themes. There are significant personal tax cuts that are coming due in 2026. Trump pledges to keep those tax rates low, Biden is suggesting to only keep those tax cuts if you are under a certain income threshold. Both candidates’ proposed policies can be viewed as inflationary. Election time brings about uncertainty, which can also create volatility, so it is an opportunity to make portfolios more robust. Perhaps improving a traditional 60/40 portfolio by adding some gold bullion to help provide diversification to the overall portfolio. * BMO Gold Bullion ETF (Ticker: ZGLD) Oil Prices West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices have declined below $80 per barrel, falling from their April highs. Likely due to geopolitical risks, rather than a fundamental shift in supply and demand. The conflict in the Middle East has probably drove prices higher, but some of those concerns have been fading. With potential higher rates for longer, you could also see slower growth. Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) met on Tuesday and they announced that they’re sticking to their forecast of relatively strong global demand for 2024. We are also seeing wildfires plaguing Western Canada that can have an impact on oil prices. It could be a supply shock that sends prices shooting upwards. Our Multi-Asset Solutions Team (MAST) is neutral on energy, with some upside from here. They are targeting a $80-$90 range per barrel. * BMO Equal Weight Oil & Gas Index ETF (Ticker: ZEO) International Equities There are lot of opportunities in foreign markets and ETFs are great tools for exposure outside of North America. Just looking at Japan and India, which had excellent returns over the past few years. The fundament economic conditions have been improving in Japan, with the government being very business friendly. Inflation has come back a bit in Japan, which is good for their economy. Warren Buffet has been increasing his holdings in Japan. India has been a kind of a darling of emerging markets for many years. Their gross domestic product (GDP) growth is at about 8% and it’s actually been accelerating coming out of COVID. The rise of their middle class is one of their most attractive stories. A good portion of the population does not have a smartphone, so there is room for growth. If it suits your risk tolerance, India can be an excellent growth opportunity. * BMO MSCI India ESG Leaders Index ETF (Ticker: ZID) U.S. Inflation Print After three consecutive hotter than expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) prints, the U.S. finally got a little reprieve from rising prices. Year-over-year inflation printed at 3.4%, which was in line with expectations. This calmed fears that interest rates were not high enough to calm inflation. Both headline and core prices rose by 0.3%. In April, a tick slower than the increases that registered in March, that left the annual rate of headline inflation decelerating to 3.4%, and core inflation at 3.6%. In addition to CPI, we also saw retail sales stall a bit, so we are starting to see some evidence that the U.S. economy is slowing, which gives the Fed some room to exhale. Yields have fallen across the curve with the recent inflation print, and as a result risk assets have been responding well. * BMO Short-Term US Treasury Bond Index ETF (Ticker: ZTS) * * * * ZMMK, total returns as at 2024/04/30: 1yr: 5.18%, 2yr: 4.26%, SI: 3.57% ZID, total returns as at 2024/04/30: 1yr: 25.50%, 3yr: 12.57%, 5yr: 11.14%, 10yr: 13.46%, SI: 8.89% * * * * * * * * Disclaimers: The viewpoints expressed by the Portfolio Manager represent their assessment of the markets at the time of publication.

Risk tolerance measures the degree of uncertainty that an investor can handle regarding fluctuations in the value of their portfolio. The amount of risk associated with any particular investment depends largely on your own personal circumstances including your time horizon, liquidity needs, portfolio size, income, investment knowledge and attitude toward price fluctuations. Investors should consult their financial advisor before making a decision as to whether this Fund is a suitable investment for them. Distribution yields are calculated by using the most recent regular distribution, or expected distribution, (which may be based on income, dividends, return of capital, and option premiums, as applicable) and excluding additional year end distributions, and special reinvested distributions annualized for frequency, divided by current net asset value (NAV). The yield calculation does not include reinvested distributions. Distributions are not guaranteed, may fluctuate and are subject to change and/ or elimination. Distribution rates may change without notice (up or down) depending on market conditions and NAV fluctuations. The payment of distributions should not be confused with the BMO ETF’s performance, rate of return or yield. If distributions paid by a BMO ETF are greater than the performance of the investment fund, your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a BMO ETF, and income and dividends earned by a BMO ETF, are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base goes below zero, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero. Cash distributions, if any, on units of a BMO ETF (other than accumulating units or units subject to a distribution reinvestment plan) are expected to be paid primarily out of dividends or distributions, and other income or gains, received by the BMO ETF less the expenses of the BMO ETF, but may also consist of non-taxable amounts including returns of capital, which may be paid in the manager’s sole discretion. To the extent that the expenses of a BMO ETF exceed the income generated by such BMO ETF in any given month, quarter, or year, as the case may be, it is not expected that a monthly, quarterly, or annual distribution will be paid. Distributions, if any, in respect of the accumulating units of BMO Short Corporate Bond Index ETF, BMO Short Federal Bond Index ETF, BMO Short Provincial Bond Index ETF, BMO Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF and BMO Ultra Short-Term US Bond ETF will be automatically reinvested in additional accumulating units of the applicable BMO ETF. Following each distribution, the number of accumulating units of the applicable BMO ETF will be immediately consolidated so that the number of outstanding accumulating units of the applicable BMO ETF will be the same as the number of outstanding accumulating units before the distribution. Non-resident unitholders may have the number of securities reduced due to withholding tax. Certain BMO ETFs have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, which provides that a unitholder may elect to automatically reinvest all cash distributions paid on units held by that unitholder in additional units of the applicable BMO ETF in accordance with the terms of the distribution reinvestment plan. For further information, see the distribution policy in the BMO ETFs’ prospectus. Commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with investments in BMO ETFs and ETF Series of the BMO Mutual Funds. Please read the ETF facts or prospectus of the relevant BMO ETF or ETF Series before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical compounded total returns including changes in share or unit value and the reinvestment of all dividends or distributions and do not take into account the sales, redemption, distribution, optional charges or income tax payable by the unitholder that would have reduced returns BMO ETFs and ETF Series are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated.
