PIMCO Canada Sets August ETF Distributions Across Three Funds

PIMCO is one of the world's largest active fixed-income managers, with a focus on public and private credit markets. The firm's Canadian ETF series targets income-oriented investors seeking regular monthly payouts from portfolios of bonds and credit instruments.

Certain statements in the release are forward-looking, including those using words like "expect," "intend," and "will," the company noted. Actual results could differ materially due to market factors and other risks, PIMCO said.

During periods of low or declining interest rates, the funds' distributable income and distribution rates may fall, the release cautioned. The funds may have to deploy uninvested assets into new, lower-yielding instruments, and payments from variable or floating-rate securities held by the funds could decline as rates fall.

The PIMCO Canada ETF series competes with other monthly-income products from firms including BMO, Vanguard, and iShares for Canadian retail and institutional allocations.
