About BUBIX
The Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund Institutional Class is an open-ended mutual fund specializing in ultra-short duration, investment-grade fixed income securities. Its principal aim is to provide current income while prioritizing preservation of capital, making it a suitable choice for investors seeking a lower volatility option within the bond market. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality debt instruments, including U.S. Treasury bills, corporate bonds, and securitized assets, with a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration greater than three months but typically less than one year. A notable characteristic is its very short effective duration—around 0.5 years—which helps mitigate interest rate risk. The fund distributes income monthly and is actively managed by a seasoned team employing a bottom-up portfolio construction strategy. With several billion dollars in assets under management and exposure across more than 350 holdings, the fund serves as a conservative fixed income solution for institutional investors and those requiring liquidity and principal stability. Its market role is to provide capital parking with income potential for those looking to avoid higher durations or riskier credit exposures relative to traditional bond funds.
