RBC Global Asset Management Inc. Announces June Sales Results for RBC Funds and PH&N Funds
TORONTO, July 5, 2012 —RBC Global Asset Management Inc. today announced June net sales of $241 million. Long-term funds had net sales of $275 million and money market funds had net redemptions of $34 million. Assets under management increased by 1.1 per cent.
"June was a positive month for our diverse lineup of funds, as we continued to capture a significant portion of industry long-term mutual fund net sales," said Doug Coulter, president of RBC Global Asset Management Inc. "As a result of the ongoing market volatility, advisors and investors appeared to seek funds that provided added value while controlling risk. The PH&N Total Return Bond Fund remained a favourite and saw strong inflows throughout the month."
For June, sales of RBC Funds, PH&N Funds and RBC Corporate Class were strong in the RBC Select Portfolios and RBC Managed Payout Solutions group of funds, as well as the mandates of Canadian Equity Income, High Yield Bond and Total Return Bond.
Sales results information is based on preliminary data from the Investment Funds Institute of Canada (IFIC).
