About EKHYX
Allspring High Yield Bond Fund Administrative Class is a mutual fund specializing in high-yield, or "junk," corporate bonds. Its primary objective is to provide investors with current income and the potential for capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in below investment-grade debt securities. These bonds are issued by a diversified group of corporate issuers and may include domestic, foreign, and emerging markets corporations. The fund is actively managed and seeks to balance risk and return in the high-yield fixed income sector, offering monthly income distributions. It plays a significant role in the fixed income marketplace by giving investors targeted exposure to higher-yielding, higher-risk corporate debt, providing diversification away from investment-grade and government bonds. The fund’s performance is typically benchmarked against the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, and it is utilized by investors seeking greater income opportunities within the broader bond market.
Performance
EKHYX had a total return of 4.17% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 4.86%.
