The Mackenzie Floating Rate Income ETF (MFT-T) has gained attention from experts due to its strong performance, notably in the past year where it reported a total return of approximately 8.6%. Recent additions to client portfolios are driven by the ETF's attractive yield, which ranges from 9% to 10%, stemming from a floating-rate strategy that primarily targets high-yield corporate bonds in the U.S. The ETF has shown resilience across various interest rate environments, outperforming traditional long-term bond indices. However, some caution is advised as interest rates are expected to decline, which could lead to reduced interest payments and subsequently affect the yield. Investors should remain mindful of market conditions as share prices are likely to track closely with the net asset value (NAV).
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.
