RBC launches new low-vol funds

Institutional investors now have two new low-volatility funds to choose from—RBC Global Asset Management Inc. has launched the RBC QUBE Low Volatility Canadian Equity Fund and the RBC QUBE Low Volatility U.S. Equity Fund.

“In an increasingly complex investment environment, we are pleased to offer a simple way for investors to reduce risk in their equity portfolios,” said Bill Tilford, head of quantitative investments with RBC Global Asset Management. “These new funds use quantitative investing to offer investors the upside potential of equities with less risk and volatility than broad market indexes.”
