RP Alternative Global Bond Fund
Liquid Alternative Credit Fund
  
  

RP Alternative Global Bond Fund aims to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns with an emphasis on capital preservation. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade debt and debt-like securities of corporations and financial institutions.

RP Alternative Global Bond Fund can invest in investment grade debt securities from anywhere around the world, with a focus on G7 countries. As a “liquid alternative fund” the Fund may also use derivatives for leverage, engage in short selling and borrow cash for investment purposes. RPIA believes that the inherent complexity and inefficiency of global corporate bond markets allows for consistent opportunities to execute profitable trades and therefore will seek to generate capital gains through active trading.

Monthly Commentary

  • Interest rates surged in October alongside stronger-than-expected US economic data and increasing odds of a Republican party victory, leading to negative returns for fixed income and equities.
  • The Fund performed well on a relative basis due to robust return generation from credit spreads and limited downside from interest rate exposure, given the portfolio’s lower duration profile.
  • Credit returns were led by positions in European banks, energy-infrastructure companies, and asset-backed securities from Subway and Frontier Communications, backed by restaurants’ revenue streams and fibre assets, respectively. 
  • Returns associated with the portfolio’s dynamic hedges were mixed as macro-related hedges performed well amidst equity volatility, while single-name shorts were modest detractors, given the broad move tighter in credit spreads.

RP Alternative Global Bond Fund is an alternative mutual fund offered pursuant to a simplified prospectus in all applicable Canadian jurisdictions and is subject to applicable securities law and regulations.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. The payment of distributions is not guaranteed, may fluctuate and does not infer performance, rate of return, or internal yield of the Fund. Always consult with your registered investment dealer before investing in mutual funds.

Indicated rates of return include changes in share or unit value and reinvestment of all dividends or distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Returns for time periods of more than one year are historical annual compounded total returns while returns for time periods of one year or less are cumulative figures and are not annualized. Performance presented for RP Alternative Global Bond Fund is for Class F of the fund. Class F units do not include embedded sales commissions, which results in higher performance relative to Class A units of the fund. Please refer to the Prospectus or Fund Facts or the fees and expenses associated with different classes of the Fund.

“Return Objective” represents RPIA’s target annualized investment return objective for the Fund and is used for illustrative purposes only. It does not imply actual future performance and may be revised at the discretion of RPIA and without prior notice.
