About BLDCX
BlackRock Low Duration Bond Fund Investor C Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on short-term, investment-grade fixed income. The fund seeks to maximize total return consistent with income generation and prudent risk management by maintaining an average portfolio duration between 0 and 3 years, aiming to limit interest rate sensitivity relative to core bond strategies. It invests primarily in high-quality U.S. dollar bonds across sectors, with notable allocations to U.S. Treasuries and large financial issuers, while having the flexibility to allocate a minority stake to below-investment-grade securities. The portfolio’s low duration profile and diversified issuer mix position it as a tool for investors seeking capital preservation and steady income within the short-term bond category. Key characteristics typically include a medium credit quality posture and limited interest rate risk, with monthly income distributions. The share class carries a higher ongoing expense relative to category peers, reflecting a level-load structure and distribution fees specific to this class. Established in 1997 under BlackRock’s fixed income platform, it serves as a core short-duration allocation within multi-asset and liquidity-aware portfolios.
