About CEPRX
Columbia Income Opportunities Fund Institutional 2 Class is a mutual fund that primarily invests in U.S. high-income debt securities, focusing on high-yield bonds. At least 65% of its bond assets are typically either not rated or considered below investment grade by major rating agencies, such as Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s. The fund is managed with the goal of achieving a high total return through current income and capital appreciation, making it a notable player within the high-yield bond category. Portfolios like this one generally consist of lower-quality bonds, offering higher yields but carrying greater exposure to economic and credit risk. This asset plays a significant role in the broader fixed income market by providing diversification and potentially higher income streams, appealing to institutions and individuals seeking returns that outpace traditional investment-grade bond funds. The fund’s multi-manager approach and broad exposure to the U.S. credit markets position it as an important vehicle for investors aiming to balance yield and risk within their fixed income allocations.
Performance
CEPRX had a total return of 4.37% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 4.28%.
