Brompton's New Cloud-Based Investment Grade CLO ETF Launch
Brompton Unveils the Wellington Square Investment Grade CLO ETF
TORONTO — Brompton Funds Limited (the Manager) is excited to announce the launch of its Wellington Square Investment Grade CLO ETF, trading under the symbol BBBB on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). This new ETF is designed to offer investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to an actively managed portfolio of primarily investment-grade rated collateralized loan obligations (CLOs).
Investment Objectives of BBBB
The primary goal of BBBB is to provide unitholders with robust monthly income while ensuring capital preservation. This is achieved through investments primarily in investment-grade rated CLOs (those rated BBB- or higher). The ETF aims to manage foreign currency exposure by hedging most transactions back to the Canadian dollar, though it may retain some exposure through its USD units.
Portfolio Management Strategy
The investment strategy for BBBB includes a minimum of 75% of the portfolio being allocated to Investment Grade CLOs, with a potential for up to 25% in CLOs rated BB+ to B-, ensuring a diversified yet stable investment approach. The fund manager, Wellington Square Advisors Inc., brings over a decade of specific CLO investment experience, which enriches BBBB's portfolio selection process.
Risk Management Approach
The Manager designates a risk rating of "low to medium" for BBBB, indicating a careful balance of risk and reward. For additional information, investors are encouraged to review BBBB’s ETF Facts, which outlines the risks and benefits associated with this investment vehicle.
