About DINDX
Morgan Stanley Income Opportunities Fund Class I is a multisector bond mutual fund designed to deliver a high level of current income, with total return as a secondary objective. The strategy allocates across diverse fixed-income segments—such as U.S. Treasuries, agency mortgage-backed securities, investment-grade and high-yield corporates, floating-rate loans, and select non‑U.S. bonds—allowing the portfolio to seek income from multiple sources while managing interest-rate and credit exposures. The fund typically invests the majority of assets in fixed-income securities and maintains flexibility to use derivatives and futures for duration and risk positioning, as reflected by positions in Treasury futures and European government bond futures among top holdings. It sits within Morningstar’s Multisector Bond category, indicating meaningful exposure to below‑investment‑grade credit alongside higher‑quality assets. Key characteristics have included an institutional share class profile, a below‑average distribution fee level, effective duration in the intermediate range, and monthly distributions. The fund’s role in the market is to provide diversified bond exposure that blends global rates, securitized assets, and credit sectors to pursue steady income across changing macro cycles.
