BlueBay Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund
The fund, sub-advised by the U.K.-based BlueBay Asset Management, invests primarily in debt securities of corporations based in emerging market countries. It is targeted at investors seeking a combination of income and capital growth potential while looking to diversify the fixed income portion of their portfolios through exposure to emerging market debt securities.

It invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. mid-cap companies that are deemed to be undervalued in order to provide broad exposure to economic growth opportunities in the equity markets. The fund aims to attract investors seeking exposure to growth opportunities in the U.S. market, or who are looking for a value component for the equity portion of their portfolios.
RBC U.S. Small-Cap Core Equity Fund
With primary investment in equity securities of U.S. small-cap companies, the fund provides broad exposure to economic growth opportunities in the equity markets for investors seeking to capitalize on growth opportunities in the U.S. market, or who want to diversify their portfolios by market capitalization.
