Could you please compare and contrast the risk, rewards and performance of these two funds? Which do you prefer and why?

Many thanks. Michael

5i Research Answer:

PMIF is essentially the ETF version of PMO005. PMIF fees are 0.84% vs 1.41 for PMO0005, and this should see PMIF getting better returns over time. PMIF five-year is 3.83% and PMO005 3.49%. The funds use a diversified multi-sector approach in their income mandate. PMIF indicated yield is 4.95%. While they are essentially the same, we would prefer the ETF PMIF for lower fees and better performance.
