About RIBAX
The RBC BlueBay Impact Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on providing a high level of current income while preserving capital. It primarily allocates at least 80% of its assets to investment-grade fixed income securities denominated in US dollars, making it a core holding in the intermediate bond category. Notably, the fund integrates a proprietary impact assessment that targets bonds contributing to positive social and environmental outcomes, aligning its investments with themes such as affordable housing, healthcare access, community development, education, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. This dual-purpose approach not only seeks financial returns but also aims for measurable progress on selected United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The fund’s holdings are broadly diversified, typically encompassing several hundred securities across corporate, securitized, and government-related issuances. With monthly income distributions and a moderate risk profile, the fund plays a vital role for investors seeking diversified bond exposure with a focus on both income generation and responsible, impact-oriented investing.
