Voth Nixon Group Launches Alternative Strategies Fund
Hong Kong-based Voth Nixon Group has launched a new fund aimed at delivering a mix of income and growth.
The Matured Capital Revenue Fund incorporates stocks, bonds, loans and convertibles, taking advantage of asset classes not typically found in conventional balanced funds.
“Rather than just choosing a stock or a bond, we work in cooperation with our fixed-income research team to assess and comprehend a company’s complete capital structure,” said Alexander Wong Voth, CFO.
The fund will attempt to deliver higher returns using lower-grade fixed-income investments and equities with proven growth performance, which is the opposite of how conventional funds usually operate.
BlackRock Launches New Fixed-Income ETFs
New York-based BlackRock has announced two new Canadian strategic fixed-income ETFs through subsidiary BlackRock Canada.
The iShares Conservative Strategic Fixed Income ETF and the iShares Conservative Short Term Strategic Fixed Income ETF join the iShares Short Term Strategic Fixed Income ETF to form a model-driven suite of fixed-income ETFs designed to respond to market volatility and the current low-rate environment.
The two new funds are designed to appeal to investors with conservative risk profiles by limiting their exposure to high-yield securities but getting them access to hard-to-reach international securities such as emerging market corporate bonds.
