Pimco has launched four active, fixed-income exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in Australia.
The four ETFs are the Pimco Global Bond Active ETF, the Pimco Diversified Fixed Interest Active ETF, the Pimco Global Credit Active ETF and the Pimco Australian Bond Active ETF.
The Pimco Global Bond Active ETF invests in high-quality global fixed interest securities including government, corporate, and mortgage securities, providing a core bond holding with low volatility and stable returns.
The Pimco Diversified Fixed Interest Active ETF offers a diversified portfolio of Australian and global bonds, serving as a core fixed income allocation
The Pimco Global Credit Active ETF aims for higher total return potential than core government bonds and cash, acting as a complement to traditional bond holdings.
The Pimco Australian Bond Active ETF seeks maximum total return by investing in fixed interest securities primarily in Australian or New Zealand currencies.
“As one of Australia’s biggest fund managers, Pimco is excited to introduce these active fixed income ETFs that will fill critical gaps in the market and meet the evolving needs of our clients,” said Sam Watkins, executive vice president and head of Pimco’s business in Australia and New Zealand.
“Pimco has been in Australia for more than 20 years, and we look forward to expanding our ETF offerings in the future to meet the evolving needs of our clients.”
