CI Enhanced Short Duration Bond Fund

CI Enhanced Short Duration Bond Fund is an exchange-traded fund that targets the fixed income market with an emphasis on maintaining a short portfolio duration—typically less than two years. Managed by CI Global Asset Management in partnership with Marret Asset Management, the fund invests in a diverse mix of debt instruments, including government and investment-grade corporate bonds, high-yield debt, convertible debentures, credit derivatives, and related fixed-income securities. Its structure allows use of derivatives both for investment and risk management purposes. The fund’s primary objective is to deliver absolute returns through a blend of interest income and capital gains, while managing for very low volatility. Designed for investors seeking stable performance within a conservative risk profile, the fund benchmarks against the FTSE Canada Short Term Corporate Bond TR Index. With regular monthly distributions and eligibility for registered accounts, the fund plays a significant role for those aiming to preserve capital and access steady income in fluctuating interest rate environments. Since its inception in 2017, the fund has established itself as a noteworthy option within the Canadian short-duration bond segment.
