Hi All.

Link below, noting these two High Yield Bond investment trusts to merge.

Makes sense to me.

Unless the economies of scale are passed on to shareholders in the form of lower fees, I can't immediately see any benefit to me as a shareholder. I've owned IPE for several years and been very satisfied with the fund performance.

Hi Yieldhog.

Yes, that is the case - the % fees are being reduced

"Invesco will cut its annual management fee to 0.65% of net assets for the larger BIPS, down from the tiered rates for CMHY and IPE which start at 0.75% and 0.8% respectively"

Good news. I hold CMHY as part of my portfolio, of which 20% is fixed interest. I like its international approach and hope that the bonds will keep up with increases in inflation, though we've been saying that for at least ten years. Yawn....

Hi, I think you may be confusing CMHY with another fund of a similar name and I'm sure other Lemon Fool's will instantly name it.
CMHY is 95% fixed interest. The share price of CMHY is generally unrelated to inflation but more to interest rates. Of course inflation leads to an increase in interest rates but there's a lag effect.

Hi, no it's CMHY, but perhaps I was writing too fast and my syntax was not clear enough. My old O-level English teacher would have pulled me up on that! ;) I meant that FI makes up 20% of my portfolio. Most of that 20% is made up of corporate bonds and Preference shares, but some ITs and ETFs for ex-UK coverage.
