RBC iShares expands its suite of RBC Target Maturity Bond ETFs

TORONTO, May 10, 2023 – Today RBC iShares expands its exchange traded fund (“ETF”) lineup   with the launch of six new RBC Target Maturity Bond ETFs, which focus on providing investors with efficient and targeted access to government fixed income. The new ETFs are managed by RBC Global Asset Management Inc. (“RBC GAM Inc.”) and are expected to begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) today.

Alongside the suite of RBC Target Maturity Corporate Bond ETFs, the new RBC Target Maturity Government Bond ETF suite expands the solutions available to advisors and investors in addressing common challenges faced when managing their fixed income portfolios. Together, the RBC Target Maturity Bond ETFs provide simple and transparent access via a wide range of diversified bond portfolios and the ability to manage duration more precisely.

Each new RBC Target Maturity Government Bond ETF will hold a mix of federal, provincial and agency bonds, and is designed to represent the performance of a portfolio of such bonds with the same maturity year as the ETF, held to maturity. The suite of RBC Target Maturity Government Bond ETFs are actively managed by RBC GAM Inc.’s fixed income team, which has long-standing experience in portfolio management.
