About FDHIX
The First Trust Short Duration High Income Fund is a fixed income mutual fund designed to provide investors with a high level of current income, with capital appreciation considered as a secondary objective. It primarily invests in high-yield debt securities, including below-investment grade bonds—often referred to as “junk bonds”—and floating rate loans. The fund maintains a short duration profile, which tends to limit its sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, making it suitable for those seeking reduced interest rate risk in a higher-yield segment of the fixed income market. Securities within the portfolio span a variety of industries, with significant allocations to sectors such as corporate credit across technology, industrials, and consumer segments. As an actively managed fund, it navigates credit quality and liquidity risks inherent to high-yield securities, aiming to capture attractive income opportunities while mitigating downside risks associated with credit events and market volatility. This fund is often utilized by institutional and high-net-worth investors as a means to enhance portfolio income or diversify fixed income exposure within a broader asset allocation strategy.
