About MBDFX
AMG GW&K Core Bond ESG Fund Class I is an actively managed mutual fund focused on investment‑grade fixed income with an environmental, social, and governance integration framework. The fund seeks to maximize total return while preserving capital by investing primarily in high‑quality U.S. dollar bonds across sectors such as U.S. Treasuries, agency mortgage‑backed securities, corporates, and selected municipals, with limited allocation to high‑yield issues. Its portfolio construction targets diversified interest‑rate and credit exposures consistent with an intermediate core bond profile, aligning closely with broad U.S. bond market characteristics. The strategy applies ESG considerations to influence issuer selection and industry exposure, aiming to balance income generation with risk control. The fund distributes income monthly and maintains an institutional share class structure with a competitive expense ratio and a relatively high minimum investment. It plays a role as a core fixed‑income holding for asset allocation, offering duration-driven ballast and consistent income within multi‑asset portfolios while emphasizing disciplined risk management and sustainability criteria.
Performance
MBDFX had a total return of 1.96% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 2.26%.
