RBC iShares

Welcome to the new RBC iShares digital experience.

Find all things ETFs here: investment strategies, products, insights and more.

With colleagues in Toronto and London, UK, the Global Fixed Income and Currencies Team manages fixed-income assets around the world. Using a proven investment process and a robust risk-management culture, the team invests in global bond and currency markets. They aim to build portfolios that consistently add value for investors over the long term.
  • We are an active manager with a long-term investment horizon, aiming to consistently beat our benchmarks.
  • We invest globally, offering a diverse set of opportunities.
  • We aim to deliver alpha through smart portfolio construction, tactical asset allocation, security selection, as well as currency and interest-rate management.
  • We de-emphasize forecasting as an investment tool in favour of building portfolios that are likely to be resilient in a range of economic and market scenarios.
  • We ensure that risks taken are proportional to the opportunities available.
  • We rely on intensive fundamental analysis, leveraging the depth and breadth of our expertise across government debt, investment-grade and high-yield corporate bond, emerging-market bond, and currency markets.
  • We believe that hedging currency risk is essential for owners of global investment-grade bonds.
  • We emphasize teamwork, ensuring continuity in the event of manager turnover.
  • We incorporate the analysis of material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into our investment process, for applicable types of investments, believing that these factors are relevant to a complete assessment of credit risk and security valuation.1


1 Certain strategies do not integrate ESG factors, including but not limited to money market strategies, index strategies and certain third-party sub-advised strategies.

Multi-layered approach

We rely on a multi-layered approach that is methodical, consistent and empirical.

Top down perspective

We consider global fiscal & monetary conditions in relation to regional economic growth & inflation projections.

Bottom up security selection

The relative value of individual securities is assessed by a team of Portfolio Managers and Credit analysts who incorporate in depth industry/sector analysis.

Opportunistic credit use

We tactically manage allocations to various credit markets such as high yield and emerging market debt in line with risk/reward opportunities available.

Scenario Analysis

Rather than building portfolios for a single forecast, we analyse the results of multiple scenarios and compare their outcomes to calibrate the risk-return profiles for our funds.

Foreign Exchange

We manage foreign-currency risk by hedging passive currency exposures back into Canadian dollars, and actively managing overlay positions to enhance returns.

Extended time horizon

We evaluate market opportunities for an 18-36 month time horizon which allows us to take advantage of market volatility.
