TD Asset Management Inc. announced the launch of eight additional mutual funds in its Advisor Series available for purchase today.

Seven of the additional funds were previously offered only in the no-load Investor Series and the TD U.S. Large-Cap Value Fund is new to the fund family. TDAM says that the new funds provide advisors with greater product choice, as well as, access to two of the most respected money management firms in the investment industry, Jarislowsky Fraser and T. Rowe Price Associates Inc.

TD’s Advisor Series funds now include (manager in brackets): TD High Yield Income Fund (TDAM), TD Monthly Income Fund (TDAM), TD Balanced Income Fund (Jarislowsky), TD Canadian Blue Chip Equity Fund (Jarislowsky), TD Canadian Small-Cap Equity Fund (TDAM), TD U.S. Large-Cap Value Fund (T. Rowe Price), TD U.S. Small-Cap Equity Fund (T. Rowe Price), and TD Resource Fund (TDAM).

The new TD U.S. Large-Cap Value Fund is advised by Baltimore-based T. Rowe Price Associates. The fund, managed by Brian Rogers, is modeled after the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, a conservative large-cap value fund. It provides added style diversification and rounds-out the current U.S.-based TD Mutual Funds – Advisor Series offerings, providing a conservative core holding to complement an investor’s more aggressive holdings.

“We’ve experienced strong sales results in the Advisor Channel, and we’re pleased to offer Advisors an expanded line-up of our Advisor Series Funds,” said Steve Geist, president, TD Mutual Funds, in a news release. “In addition to our top-selling income funds and broad line-up, these new funds provide more choice and flexibility for Advisors to meet their clients’ needs.”
