About DCHYX

Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund Class C is an open-end mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of below investment grade debt securities, commonly known as high-yield or “junk” bonds, which are issued by companies with lower credit ratings. These bonds typically offer higher yields to compensate for their increased credit risk compared to investment-grade securities. Managed by a professional team, the fund's portfolio selection emphasizes issuers from sectors with higher growth potential or those undergoing significant changes, though all holdings remain within the realm of high-yield fixed income instruments. The fund distributes income to investors on a monthly basis and pays any realized capital gains annually, typically in December. Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund Class C serves investors seeking consistent income from fixed income markets, particularly those comfortable with the added risk associated with speculative-grade bonds. It plays a role in diversified portfolios by providing exposure to corporate credit markets beyond standard investment-grade options, potentially enhancing overall yield and diversifying credit exposure for income-oriented investors.
