Trans-Canada Capital Inc. (TCC), a Montreal-based asset management firm, has officially launched the TCC Canadian Long-Term Corporate Bond Fund, securing approximately C$470 million in initial seed investors’ contributions. The daily liquidity fund is available to eligible institutional clients across Canada.
Fund Launch and Investment Strategy
The fund, launched on June 16, 2026, employs an investment strategy that TCC has successfully applied in comparable long-term corporate bond mandates since 2018. Over that period, the investment process has demonstrated a consistent ability to generate risk-adjusted returns across market cycles by combining fundamental credit analysis with innovative portfolio construction.
The TCC Canadian Long-Term Corporate Bond Fund targets investment-grade corporate bonds, with a focus on issuers across the Canadian market. The fund seeks to outperform the FTSE Canada Long-Term Corporate Bond Index through credit curve positioning, active sector allocation, issuer selection, and relative value opportunities, while maintaining strict risk controls on duration, credit quality, and concentration.
Management Commentary
“We have been refining and executing this corporate bond strategy since 2018, which generated significant value net of fees during that period,” said Jean-François Milette, Global Head, Client Solutions at TCC. “Launching this Fund allows us to offer eligible institutional investors direct access to an established, time-tested investment approach – one that has navigated rate cycles, credit dislocations, and volatile markets. We are confident in our team’s disciplined process and its ability to continue pursuing consistent, risk-adjusted returns for our clients.”
Expansion of Fixed Income Solutions
The launch marks a continued expansion of TCC’s suite of fixed income solutions, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of Canadian institutional investors seeking steady, long-term value added.
