About BSGAX
Sterling Capital Short Duration Bond Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating current income with a competitive total return profile through a diversified portfolio of investment‑grade fixed income securities. The strategy concentrates on the short end of the yield curve, typically maintaining an effective duration of about two years, which helps reduce sensitivity to interest‑rate movements relative to intermediate- and long‑duration peers. The fund invests primarily in U.S. corporate and government bonds and similar high‑quality instruments within the short‑term bond category, seeking to balance income generation with capital preservation. With a long track record since 1992 and a multi‑manager approach, it emphasizes risk management, liquidity, and broad issuer diversification across more than a hundred holdings. The fund’s profile may appeal to investors allocating to the core bond sleeve who want lower volatility and rate exposure than broad aggregate benchmarks, while still participating in the short‑term credit and government markets. It is evaluated within the Morningstar U.S. Fund Short‑Term Bond category and reports metrics such as effective duration, average life, turnover, and SEC yield to frame risk and income characteristics.
