Executive Summary
  • RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. announced the launch of the RBC BlueBay Enhanced Income Fund, a closed-end interval fund.
  • The fund targets U.S. intermediary and retail investors, offering semi-liquid access to alternative credit markets, specifically CLO equity and junior debt tranches rated BB and B.
