PFL can help investors reduce risk in portfolios and benefit
from higher yields in a rising rate environment
TORONTO, July 12,
2023 /CNW/ -- Invesco Canada Ltd. ("Invesco")
announced today that the existing management fee on the Invesco 1-3
Year Laddered Floating Rate Note Index ETF (PFL) will be reduced
from 0.20% to 0.12%. This change will go into effect on
September 1, 2023.
PFL currently holds high-quality AAA rated and AA
rated1 short-term investment-grade government,
agencies or provincial floating rate notes. The coupons paid by
these holdings reset regularly resulting in higher coupon payments
as interest rates rise. The laddering structure of PFL and
short duration of underlying securities may help to reduce the
interest-rate sensitivity of a portfolio in the current
environment. As a fixed income ETF, PFL offers investors a
potential low risk2 investment during periods of rising
interest rates.
PFL seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and
before fees and expenses, the performance of the FTSE Canada 1-3
Year Laddered Floating Rate Note Index. The index is designed to
measure the return of a 1-3 year floating rate note laddered basket
of Canadian government, agencies and provinces investment-grade
floating-rate notes.
The full waiver of the management fee on PFL, announced by
Invesco on July 14, 2022, will end on
August 31, 2023.
