Reasons to invest

  • An experienced bond investor. The Calgary based investment team has decades of experience managing fixed income strategies with a Canadian perspective and is a part of the larger Franklin Fixed Income team with over 200 fixed income investment professionals around the world.
  • Lower portfolio volatility. As short-term bonds are generally less sensitive to interest rate movements than longer-term bonds, they can help minimize the impact of rising rates on a portfolio and reduce overall portfolio volatility.
