Fixed income funds

Different funds to achieve unique goals

Whether you want to minimize the impact of taxes, draw an income or something else, you have options with our mutual funds.

What are fixed income funds?

Fixed income funds generally limit risk by investing in government or corporate bonds, but this could mean smaller returns than what’s possible with a riskier fund.
