MB Fixed Income Fund

Objective

The Fund aims to provide investors with a moderate real rate of return primarily through interest income. Returns in excess of income will be gained through duration, yield and sector management.
 

The MB Fixed Income Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of bonds issued or guaranteed by Canadian governments (Federal and Provincial) and corporations. It may also invest in U.S. dollar denominated bonds from Canadian issuers when exchange rates are considered favourable. Corporate and provincial sectors are normally emphasized over a market cycle due to their attractive yields.
 

The Fund's term to maturity (duration) is actively managed within set ranges according to the interest rate outlook.

Volatility Profile

The Fund is suitable for clients with a low to moderate risk tolerance and a medium term investment time horizon.

Investing in bonds is less risky than investing in stocks. However, there is some risk as the price of bonds is closely tied to changes in interest rates. The value of the bonds held in the Fund will rise when interest rates fall, while their value will decrease whenever interest rates rise. U.S. dollar denominated bonds are also subject to exchange rate fluctuation.
