RBC Global Asset Management Broadens U.S. Fixed Income Solutions with Launch of New Multi-Asset Credit Fund

New multi-asset credit fund seeks to achieve a high level of total return by investing across the spectrum of higher yielding, sub-investment grade credit markets.

STAMFORD, Conn., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. ("RBC GAM-U.S.") announced today the launch of the RBC BlueBay Credit Opportunities Fund ("the Fund"), a new investment strategy designed specifically for investors seeking income and total return opportunities from U.S. credit markets.

The Fund will primarily invest in high yield corporate bonds, loans, and structured credit, including asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). This multi-asset credit fixed income option seeks to generate diversified sources of income and returns by dynamically shifting across credit sectors and issuers to find the best relative value.

"The credit market appears to be abundant with idiosyncratic opportunities and high-yielding asset classes," said Donald Sanya, CEO of RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.)."We believe dynamically combining these asset classes can help enable investors to build resilient portfolios that have the potential to generate compelling risk-adjusted returns."

The RBC BlueBay Credit Opportunities Fund is co-led by Tim Leary, Senior Portfolio Manager at RBC Global Asset Management and Andrzej Skiba, Head of U.S. Fixed Income at RBC Global Asset Management.

"We believe U.S. credit remains exceptionally important for investors seeking the potential for strong returns and high income," said Mr. Leary. "The depth and liquidity of the U.S. credit markets, combined with a diverse issuer base across sectors, provide our institutional and intermediary clients with meaningful opportunities to potentially generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. Our focus on U.S. fixed income investments combined with our experience managing credit portfolios helps ensure our investors have the potential to benefit directly from these compelling credit market opportunities to help meet their investment goals."

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Derivatives such as futures, forwards, and swaps involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) and structured finance securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. The Fund is new with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decisions. These and other risks are described more fully in the prospectus.

Before investing, you should consider carefully a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, which you can view by visiting https://dfinview.com/usrbcgam or request by calling 800.422.2766. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
