About LVITX
Western Asset Core Plus VIT Portfolio is an open-end mutual fund specializing in fixed income investments. Its primary objective is to maximize total return while maintaining prudent investment management and liquidity. The portfolio allocates at least 80% of its assets to a diverse range of debt and fixed income securities, including U.S. government bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and select holdings from international and emerging market issuers. Notably, it can invest up to 25% in foreign debt and up to 20% in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities, enhancing diversification across global issuers and currencies. Designed within the intermediate core-plus bond category, the fund offers greater flexibility than traditional core bond portfolios, allowing limited exposure to high-yield bonds, bank loans, and non-core sectors. Its investments typically span a broad maturity spectrum and manage interest rate sensitivity by maintaining an average effective duration aligned closely with benchmark core bond indices. The portfolio is actively managed by Franklin Templeton, reflecting a strategy that seeks to balance income, risk, and return, making it an important component for investors seeking diversified fixed income exposure within variable insurance products and retirement accounts.
Performance
LVITX had a total return of 1.47% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 1.03%.
