About CBABX
Columbia Balanced Fund is a mutual fund designed to deliver a high total return by investing in a carefully selected mix of common stocks and debt securities. The fund employs a balanced allocation strategy, typically investing between 35% and 65% of its net assets in both equity and fixed income instruments, though allocation can range from 25% to 75% in each category depending on market conditions. This approach offers broad exposure to both growth opportunities in equities and stability from bonds, making it a strong fit for investors seeking balanced risk and return. Columbia Balanced Fund is notable for its diversified sector exposure, employing a contrarian, bottom-up selection process that aims to capitalize on undervalued or out-of-favor stocks while maintaining a risk-aware, securitized-heavy bond portfolio. The fund is also recognized for its low carbon risk and very limited fossil fuel exposure, aligning with investors' growing interest in sustainable investing. Managed by Columbia Threadneedle, the fund holds a significant number of positions across asset classes, reflecting its commitment to diversification and risk management.
