Purpose Investments Lists New ETF Series of the Purpose Global Resource Fund (PGRX) on the Toronto Stock Exchange

TORONTO, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Purpose Investments Inc. (“Purpose”) today listed a new ETF series of the Purpose Global Resource Fund (the “Fund”), which begins trading today on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the ticker PGRX. The listing brings Purpose’s award-winning*, actively managed global resource strategy to the ETF market with exposure across the full breadth of the sector, from energy and metals to mining and infrastructure, guided by a disciplined, repeatable investment process.

“Resources are essential to almost every major economic shift underway right now from geopolitical tension, to the energy transition, and to the rising demands of AI and electrification, and advisors have wanted a disciplined, single-ticket way to access the sector,” said Jeremy Lin, Portfolio Manager at Purpose Investments. “Advisors and investors have told us they want a simple way to invest in the sector without having to pick individual commodities or companies. PGRX enables this.”

“What sets it apart is the process behind it, one we’ve run for years and can repeat in any market,” Lin added. “We move across energy, metals, and mining as the balance of risk and reward shifts, and we do the deep research to find quality companies others overlook. It’s built to work through the ups and downs of the full resource cycle, not just one moment in it.”

The Purpose Global Resource Fund (Series F) has delivered 110.31% over the past year and 46.68% annualized over five years*, a top-quartile result in its Morningstar category over that period.** Investors can now access the same strategy through a TSX-listed ETF series, with the simplicity and flexibility of an ETF.

Key Benefits:

• Built for growing resource demand: Central bank gold buying, the race for critical minerals, and rising power demand from AI and data centres are straining supply across energy and metals. PGRX is actively managed to find opportunities across the global resource value chain as these shifts play out.
• A hedge against inflation: Real assets such as gold, copper, and energy have historically risen when inflation accelerates. PGRX gives investors actively managed exposure to these inflation-sensitive sectors, helping portfolios preserve purchasing power while adding diversification beyond traditional stocks and bonds. Active Management: Rather than tracking a single commodity or index, PGRX manages volatility through sector timing and security selection — rotating as the risk-reward balance shifts and holding well-researched names across the value chain. The aim is to turn a high beta asset class into a manageable, single allocation.
