The Mackenzie Floating Rate Income ETF (MFT-T) has been attracting attention due to its floating-rate strategy, which focuses on higher-yielding corporate issues primarily in the U.S. The ETF has demonstrated considerable performance over the past year, achieving a total return of approximately 8.6%. While its yield is appealing, ranging between 9-10%, experts express caution regarding the sustainability of this yield given the anticipated lowering of interest rates. As rates decline, interest payments are expected to decrease, which may affect the fund's yield over time. Overall, MFT's share price seems to be trading close to its net asset value (NAV), and its performance remains competitive compared to traditional bond indices, often outperforming them in various interest rate environments.
Has done extremely well over the past year, total return is up ~8.6%, though share price has come off. Floating-rate strategy to higher-yielding corporate issues, mainly US. Better return than most bond indices, as they're usually long term. Performs well in almost any interest rate environment. Very nice yield of 9-10%.
With rates coming down in the future, we would be cautionary to say that a yield this high will be sustained, especially given MFT's floating rate focus. As rates come down, interest payments will come down as well which should lower the yield overtime. However, if the price of the fund declines by a greater proportion, yield may look attractive. The share price will likely trade close to NAV which will depend on market conditions.
