RBC iShares
A target-maturity bond fund winding down toward 2030, unhedged, for 0.2% a year.
Funds of this type differ on a small set of facts. Where this fund sits on each:
Bond exposure maturing in 2030. This fund holds bonds that wind down toward 2030, a structure whose rate sensitivity declines as the maturity date approaches. Duration was about 3.7 years, so rate changes had a meaningful effect on price.
Source: fund provider disclosure.
The management fee was 0.2% a year, or about $20 for every $10,000 held. Trading spreads are separate from this fee. This is the management fee as published by the provider; the total expense ratio can be slightly higher once fund operating costs are added.
Mostly foreign income
The full distribution tax character across 2 years, plus what you keep after tax in a TFSA, RRSP, or non-registered account, is on the Real Yield report card.
