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.
