About BBSCX
Sterling Capital Short Duration Bond Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on high-quality, short-maturity fixed income securities. The fund’s primary objective is to provide current income with relatively low interest rate sensitivity by concentrating on bonds with shorter durations, a profile that helps moderate price volatility when rates change. It typically invests across investment-grade corporate debt, government and agency securities, and asset-backed instruments, seeking diversified exposure to the front end of the yield curve. This approach positions the fund as a potential core short-term bond allocation for investors seeking stability of principal and consistent income generation within a conservative time horizon. Managed by Sterling Capital, the strategy emphasizes disciplined credit research, broad sector diversification, and risk controls aligned to short-duration benchmarks. In the broader market, the fund plays a role in cash management and liquidity planning, offering an intermediate step between money market funds and intermediate-term bond funds, and serving institutional and retail portfolios that prioritize predictable cash flows and reduced interest rate risk.
