TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2013 /CNW/ - TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM), the manager of TD Mutual Funds, today announced a portfolio adviser change for the TD International Growth Fund (the "Fund").

Effective on or about November 12, 2013, TDAM will become the portfolio adviser of the Fund, replacing Echo Point Investment Management. The Fund will be managed by Charles Edwardes-Ker, Vice President and Director, TDAM. Charles brings extensive industry experience to the management of this Fund, with over 25 years in equity investing. He currently leads the active international equity team and is the lead manager of the TD Strategic Yield Fund.

The investment objective of the Fund will not change, however the approach to managing the Fund will change to reflect the proprietary research the fund manager will use to identify investment opportunities in high-quality companies.

"By bringing the investment management of the Fund in-house, investors have the opportunity to benefit from the considerable experience and expertise that Charles Edwardes-Ker has in equity markets," said Paul Orlander, President, TD Mutual Funds.

"We would like to thank Echo Point for the years in which they managed this Fund and wish them ongoing success," added Orlander.
