MONTREAL, Sept. 3, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - O'Leary Funds Management LP, a leading destination for income-oriented Canadian investors, introduces its new Floating Rate Income mutual fund.
The Fund seeks to provide income while protecting capital by investing primarily in the floating rate debt of Canadian and global issuers. The yield on floating rate securities generally resets every 90 days, which helps protect investment value from the risk of rising interest rates.
The Fund's portfolio investment team is headed by Connor O'Brien, CIO at Stanton Asset Management, and features Adam Smalley, Senior Portfolio Manager - Fixed Income. Mr. Smalley has over 14 years of experience, mostly in New York, focused on high yield bonds and floating rate securities portfolios in a wide range of market conditions, including periods of increasing interest rates and widening credit spreads.
Stanton uses top-down analysis to evaluate and determine the most attractive sectors and types of securities, combined with fundamental credit analysis and relative value analysis to identify and select attractive investments.
"The launch of our new O'Leary Floating Rate Income Fund provides Canadian financial advisors and their clients with a timely investment solution during a period of increasing interest rates," said Connor O'Brien, CEO of O'Leary Funds. "This Fund is particularly well-suited to the current environment, since this type of strategy has an excellent history of generating stable income and diversification, with limited interest rate risk."
About the New O'Leary Floating Rate Income Fund:
The Fund seeks to provide income by investing in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of senior floating rate loans, floating rate notes and short duration corporate bonds of investment grade and non-investment grade Canadian and global issuers. Stanton Asset Management, the portfolio advisor to the O'Leary family of funds, believes that these provide an attractive means to generate income while protecting capital from the impact of increasing interest rates.
Floating rate debt instruments tend to have lower correlation with other fixed income securities or equities and, as a result, are an excellent way to diversify a portfolio. With interest rate increases on the horizon, a floating rate strategy offers the potential for stability of investment value and attractive risk-adjusted returns. The O'Leary Floating Rate Income Fund offers investors a portfolio comprised of senior loans, floating rate notes and short duration corporate bonds for additional diversification and liquidity.
Available Series
The Fund is available for sale in hedged and unhedged Series A and F, as well as in a hedged Series H.
Income distributions to O'Leary Floating Rate Income Fund unitholders will be made monthly using a target fixed distribution rate.
