Products and Services

• Canadian Government Securities

  The foundation of the PIMCO Canada Core Bond Fund's investment strategy lies in Canadian government securities. These are deemed as safe, liquid assets, providing a secure base for the portfolio by offering predictable interest payments and principal protection. By investing in government bonds, the fund aligns itself with the stability and reliability of the Canadian government's financial obligations.

• Corporate Bonds

  Corporate bonds represent another crucial component of the fund's diversified portfolio. By including corporate debt from a broad spectrum of industries, the fund seeks to enhance its yield potential beyond what government securities typically offer. These bonds, issued by corporations, come with higher risk but provide the potential for greater returns, contributing to the fund's goal of attractive total return while being meticulously selected to maintain a balance between risk and reward.

• Asset-Backed Securities

  Inclusion of asset-backed securities (ABS) further diversifies the fund's investment strategy. These securities are backed by financial assets, such as loans or receivables, providing another layer of income-generating investments. The fund targets both investment-grade and select high-yield ABS with the aim of capitalizing on their specific risk-return profiles, thus contributing to the fund’s overall return while attempting to control risk exposure.

• Investment-Grade and High-Yield Bonds

  The fund does not restrict itself merely to the safest bonds. It judiciously incorporates a mix of investment-grade and select high-yield bonds. This blend allows the fund to seek higher returns associated with high-yield bonds, without disproportionately increasing the portfolio's risk profile. The strategic selection of these bonds, grounded in comprehensive market analysis, enables the PIMCO Canada Core Bond Fund to pursue its objectives of total return and capital preservation within a framework of calibrated risk management.
