About BIMSX

Baird Intermediate Bond Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund specializing in intermediate-term, U.S. dollar-denominated fixed income securities. Its primary goal is to achieve a total return that exceeds the Bloomberg Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index by employing a risk-controlled, duration-neutral investment philosophy. The fund typically maintains its duration close to the benchmark, emphasizing predictability and minimizing interest rate risk relative to its peer group. At least 80% of assets are allocated to a mix of U.S. government and public sector bonds, high-quality corporate debt, as well as mortgage- and asset-backed securities from both U.S. and foreign issuers. This diversified structure helps balance credit quality and interest rate sensitivity, with a focus on intermediate maturities. The fund appeals to investors seeking exposure to the core U.S. bond market with moderate risk, and plays a significant role in the fixed income category by offering competitive yields and reliable portfolio management within the intermediate core bond segment.
