Our read on FIIG
CA bond picker's fund in the most indexed corner of the market: no benchmark to hug, around 300 investment-grade corporate bonds, monthly income, and a 0.49% fee that tells you a human is doing the choosing.
The fund seeks current income and long-term capital appreciation while normally investing at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade corporate debt securities.
Why people hold it
- No published index to follow. The managers choose issuers and maturities inside a mandate of at least 80% investment-grade corporate debt.ftportfolios.com
- About 300 bonds spread out single-issuer risk, and the portfolio has stayed closely aligned with the mandate in its own filings.
- Income is paid monthly rather than quarterly, and the fund has grown to a few hundred million in assets since launch.
Worth knowing
- The fee is the headline: 0.49% a year, against index peers like VCIT and SPIB at 0.03% and 0.04%. Bond picking here carries a real toll.
- Intermediate-duration corporates react to both interest rates and credit spreads, and with a 2023 launch this one has a short history.
- Trading is moderate rather than heavy, so order size and timing matter more here than in the giant index funds.
