About DEECX

Macquarie Extended Duration Bond Fund Class C is a mutual fund specializing in long-term fixed-income securities. Its primary objective is to achieve capital preservation and appreciation by investing mainly in a diversified portfolio of bonds issued by U.S. entities. The fund emphasizes exposure to credit instruments with medium credit quality and demonstrates extensive interest rate sensitivity, reflected in its effective duration of approximately 12.6 years. This positions the fund to be sensitive to interest rate movements, making it suitable for investors seeking long-term bond exposure. The portfolio typically includes corporate bonds from various sectors, with a notable percentage allocated across the top ten holdings. With total assets near $472.5 million, the fund plays a role in offering investors access to potential income and diversification benefits within the broader fixed-income market. It operates under a level load share class structure and is open to new investors, maintaining a moderate minimum initial investment requirement. While it aims to provide steady yield and mitigate inflation risk over extended periods, its relatively higher fee structure and sensitivity to interest rate changes are important characteristics that shape its function and performance in the marketplace.
