RBC Indigo Asset Management Inc. announces changes to RBC Indigo Mutual Funds and RBC Indigo Pooled Funds, including proposed mergers, closures, and other changes Français

TORONTO, Jan. 7, 2025 /CNW/  RBC Indigo Asset Management Inc. (“RBC Indigo”) today announced changes to the RBC Indigo Mutual Funds and/or RBC Indigo Pooled Funds (collectively the “RBC Indigo Funds” or “Funds”), including proposed fund mergers, closures, and additional changes, effective on or about April 17, 2025 (“Effective Date”).

On March 28, 2024, Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”) completed the acquisition of HSBC Bank Canada. Upon the completion of the acquisition, HSBC Global Asset Management (Canada) Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC and a member of the RBC Global Asset Management group of companies and was renamed RBC Indigo Asset Management Inc. RBC Indigo continued to operate as the manager of the RBC Indigo Funds and the Funds were renamed.

Following the acquisition, RBC Indigo and RBC Global Asset Management Inc. (“RBC GAM”) thoroughly and thoughtfully reviewed their fund offerings. That review highlighted a high degree of overlap between funds offered by RBC Indigo and RBC GAM. In many cases, RBC Indigo and RBC GAM offer similar types of funds that provide the same exposure to underlying asset classes or that meet specific investment objectives. Where there is overlap, it is proposed that the RBC Indigo Fund will merge into a substantially similar RBC GAM-managed fund (“RBC GAM Fund”). In three instances where it has been determined that the merging RBC Indigo Funds do not have substantially similar fundamental investment objectives as the continuing RBC GAM Fund, unitholder approval for such mergers will be sought (as further described below under Fund Mergers). RBC Indigo Funds that are unique and where no suitable or comparable RBC GAM Fund exists, will be either fully transitioned to RBC GAM or closed. Following the implementation of the fund mergers, transitions and closures, RBC Indigo will be wound-up and dissolved.

As part of these changes, the overall management expense ratios (“MERs”) of the RBC GAM Funds, which include the management fee and administration fee, are expected to be equal to or lower than those that are currently charged for the corresponding RBC Indigo Funds, except for the RBC Indigo Chinese Equity Fund Institutional Series. The MER for the corresponding series of the RBC China Equity Fund is 1 basis point higher and the merger is subject to unitholder approval.

Fund Mergers
Subject to obtaining unitholder approval for certain fund mergers, each of the fund mergers listed in the table above are expected to be carried out on a tax-deferred or taxable basis on the Effective Date. Distributions of income and capital gains will be made prior to the Effective Date from both the merging RBC Indigo Fund and continuing RBC GAM Fund in a tax deferred merger, and from the merging RBC Indigo Fund in a taxable merger. RBC Indigo Canadian Money Market Fund, RBC Indigo U.S. Dollar Money Market Fund, and RBC Indigo Canadian Money Market Pooled Fund will also make a special distribution on or around April 11, 2025, to pay out interest accrued up to this date, except for Royal Mutual Funds Inc. accounts. Certain series of the merging RBC Indigo Funds will be closed. Please refer to Fund and Series Closures below for further details.

The following RBC Indigo Funds will require unitholder approval to proceed with the merger:

For the Institutional Series only, a 1 basis point increase in MER

RBC Indigo intends to call and hold a special meeting for unitholders of the above noted merging funds on April 4, 2025, in Toronto, Ontario to consider and vote upon the proposed mergers. A notice-and-access document will be mailed to unitholders of record or their discretionary advisors as of February 3, 2025, outlining how to obtain a copy of the management information circular containing details of the proposed mergers. The notice-and-access document and the management information circular will also be available on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca.

For each fund merger in the table above, unitholders of the RBC Indigo Fund (with the exception of the unitholders of the series that will be closed as further described below under Fund and Series Closures) will receive units of the respective continuing RBC GAM Fund noted above based on the continuing fund’s net asset value per unit. The merging RBC Indigo Funds will terminate following completion of the mergers. RBC Indigo will cover all costs and expenses associated with each of the mergers.

The proposed fund mergers were presented to the Independent Review Committee of the Indigo Funds (“IRC”). Following careful consideration, the IRC provided their approval or a positive recommendation, as applicable, after determining that the mergers achieve a fair and reasonable result for each of the applicable Funds.

Units of the RBC Indigo Funds that are merging will no longer be available for purchase effective as of the close of business on April 10, 2025. Purchases under pre-authorized contribution plans may continue depending on the dealer. Investors should consult their dealer for more information. Unitholders of the merging funds may redeem their units up to the close of business on the Effective Date.

Funds to Transition to RBC GAM
The RBC Indigo Funds transitioning to RBC GAM will continue operating with new names as set out in the table above and will become part of the RBC GAM family of funds, effective on the Effective Date. Certain series of the transitioning RBC Indigo Funds will be closing. Please refer to Fund and Series Closures below for further details. RBC GAM will become the manager and trustee of the transitioning Funds and these Funds will be incorporated into the RBC Funds Amended and Restated Master Declaration of Trust. The Funds will be incorporated into the RBC Funds Simplified Prospectus in the next renewal.

In contemplation of RBC GAM becoming manager and trustee, RBC Indigo intends to terminate HSBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited and HSBC Global Asset Management (Singapore) Limited as sub-advisors of the RBC Indigo International Equity Index Fund and RBC Indigo Indian Equity Fund, respectively, as of the Effective Date. It is anticipated that RBC GAM will appoint a new sub-advisor to be announced at a later date for the renamed RBC International Equity Index Fund and will appoint RBC Global Asset Management (Asia) Limited as sub-advisor for the renamed RBC India Equity Fund.

The operating expenses of the Funds will change from a floating operating expense to a fixed administration fee. The fixed administration fee is calculated and accrued daily on the net asset value of each series of units of a fund and may vary by series of units and by fund. The administration fee paid to RBC GAM by a fund in respect of a series may, in any particular period, exceed or be lower than the operating expenses paid by RBC GAM for that series of the fund.

The material service providers of the transitioning Funds will change as described below, thereby aligning with the RBC GAM family of funds’ service providers:

Service

Existing Service Provider

New Service Provider

Custodian

CIBC Mellon Trust Company

RBC Investor Services Trust

Registrar

Royal Bank of Canada and International Financial Data Services (Canada) Limited

Royal Bank of Canada, RBC Investor Services Trust and RBC GAM

Valuation and/or Administrative Services

CIBC Mellon Global Securities Services Company

RBC GAM 

The change in service providers will take effect as of the Effective Date, except for the change in Registrar, which will take effect as of the close of business on April 11, 2025. Unitholders of the transitioning Funds will be sent written notice of these changes at least 60 days before the change in service providers takes effect.

Fund and Series Closures
On the Effective Date, certain RBC Indigo Funds noted in the table above will be closed. To simplify the line-up, certain series of merging or transitioning RBC Indigo funds will also be closed on the Effective Date. Please refer to the Summary of Fund Changes table for details.

The securities of the closing RBC Indigo Funds will be liquidated to cash up to 10 days prior to the Effective Date and, after paying or making adequate provisions for the liabilities of the closing Funds, distribute the cash proceeds to the unitholders of record on the Effective Date. The closing RBC Indigo Funds will make a distribution of income and capital gains prior to the Effective Date.

Unitholders of the closing RBC Indigo Funds and closing series will receive at least 60 days’ notice of the closure. Units of the closing RBC Indigo Funds and closing series will no longer be available for purchase effective as of the close of business on April 10, 2025. Purchases under pre-authorized contribution plans may continue depending on the dealer. Investors should consult their dealer for more information. Unitholders of the closing Funds and closing series may redeem their units up to the close of business on the Effective Date, after which time any remaining units will be automatically redeemed.
