About BXDLX
MassMutual Short-Duration Bond Fund Class L is an open-end mutual fund focused on short-term, investment‑grade fixed income. Its primary objective is to deliver a high total rate of return driven mainly by current income while seeking to limit price volatility through a short duration profile. The portfolio invests at least 80% of assets in investment‑grade bonds, typically spanning U.S. Treasuries, agencies, corporate credits, and securitized instruments, to balance income generation with interest‑rate risk management. The fund pays distributions monthly, reflecting its income orientation. Launched in 2020, it sits within the short-term bond category and maintains a diversified holdings base, aiming to dampen drawdowns relative to longer-duration strategies. Its expense ratio aligns with actively managed short-duration peers, and the share class requires a stated minimum initial investment. Positioned as a core short-duration allocation, the fund can serve in cash management ladders, liability‑matching frameworks, or as a ballast within multi‑asset portfolios where capital preservation and steady income are priorities in varying rate environments.
Performance
BXDLX had a total return of 5.72% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 6.53%.
