RBC Global Asset Management has launched seven new index-tracking ETFs, bringing the firm’s total number of ETFs to 35.
The newly launched funds are sub-advised by State Street Global Advisors (part of State Street Corporation) building on a 20-year relationship between SSGA and RBC GAM which began with the launch of the RBC index mutual funds in 1998.
They will also follow the FTSE Russell indexes.
“Over the past six years, Canadian investors and advisors have trusted over $3.5 billion to RBC ETFs, making RBC Global Asset Management one of Canada’s leading ETF providers,” said Mark Neill, head of RBC ETFs
The seven funds began trading on the Aequitas NEO Exchange on September 21:
“As we bring new index solutions to our ETF line-up today, we also look forward to further expanding our suite of income-generating ETFs in the near future,” added Neill.
