About FDHAX
First Trust Short Duration High Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund specializing in short-duration, high-yield fixed income securities. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of current income to investors, with capital appreciation as a secondary goal. The fund predominantly invests in high yield, or "junk," bonds and floating rate securities, aiming to maintain a portfolio duration of three years or less to reduce interest rate risk, which is generally lower for shorter-term debt instruments. The fund’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in corporate bonds—making up over 90% of its holdings—with some allocation to cash and cash equivalents. It may also invest a portion of assets in non-U.S. securities denominated in foreign currencies. Because it focuses on high yield bonds, the fund typically takes on greater credit risk and higher income potential compared to investment grade bond funds. The asset plays a significant role in the market by offering a potential hedge against rising interest rates, supporting investors seeking diversified income streams across various economic environments.
Performance
FDHAX had a total return of 3.46% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 3.91%.
