The RBC BlueBay High Yield Bond Fund is managed by Tim Leary (BlueBay Senior Portfolio Manager), Andrzej Skiba (Head of BlueBay U.S. Fixed Income) and Charles Whinery (BlueBay Portfolio Manager) and follows a high-conviction, bottom-up investment process focused on uncovering value across the U.S. high-yield universe.

“Crossing the $1 billion threshold underscores the strength of our credit platform and the trust our clients place in our investment teams,” said Donald Sanya, CEO of RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. “This milestone along with the Fund’s new R6 share class reflect RBC GAM’s continued commitment to bringing a comprehensive and differentiated U.S. fixed income offering to investors saving for retirement.”

The growth of RBC GAM’s RBC BlueBay High Yield Bond Fund exemplifies the firm’s long-term focus on meeting the needs of U.S. advisors and institutional investors seeking diversified income solutions.

“As many investors continue to seek attractive all-in yields and a steady income stream, we believe U.S. high yield is a compelling opportunity for portfolios,” said Tim Leary, BlueBay Senior Portfolio Manager at RBC Global Asset Management. “When thinking about the market environment we sit in today, with elevated inflation, we believe high yield bonds have the potential to provide a buffer to help protect portfolios from inflation erosion.”

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer- term debt securities. Investments in lower- and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. These and other risks are described more fully in the prospectus.
