About FDHCX
First Trust Short Duration High Income Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with a high level of current income primarily through investments in high-yield bonds issued by U.S. entities. The fund emphasizes short duration fixed income securities to manage interest rate risk, aiming to balance income generation with capital preservation. It also incorporates floating rate securities, which have coupon rates that adjust periodically based on reference interest rates, offering potential resilience in rising rate environments. However, as a high-yield focused fund, it involves exposure to lower-rated, speculative-grade bonds that carry greater market volatility and credit risk. The fund may invest a portion of its assets in non-U.S. securities and bank loans, and it maintains an average portfolio duration generally around three years. This fund plays a significant role in the taxable fixed income sector by targeting income-seeking investors desiring shorter-term credit risk exposure with higher yields compared to investment-grade bonds. Its active management seeks to navigate the complexities of credit markets while addressing interest rate sensitivity and liquidity considerations.
Performance
FDHCX had a total return of 2.33% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 3.13%.
