PIMCO Investment Grade Credit Fund (Canada) F (PMO211 $8.86)
Q: I have held these three funds since early 2016 for the stability component (maintain capital and some income) in my portfolio. The annual MER's are .44, .86 and .84. respectively, I have series F in the PMO funds. Extra year end distributions for the PMO funds were nice but they stopped after 2018 year end.
Their total capital growth has been very modest, about 2-4% total over several years.
I am not too comfortable with the higher annual MER's.
Could you comment if I might see significant capital drop if interest rates go up? Also, could you recommend any different holding or stock that I may consider instead of these funds for stability and income?
Thank You.
