About MCBDX
MassMutual Core Bond Fund Class R5 is a mutual fund that primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade U.S. fixed income securities. Its core objective is to achieve a high total rate of return while maintaining prudent investment risk and emphasizing the preservation of capital. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to investment-grade bonds, including government, corporate, and securitized debt instruments. It operates within the intermediate-term core bond category, which means its duration—an indicator of sensitivity to interest rate changes—typically remains near the market average for similar funds. With a focus on quality, the fund limits exposure to lower-rated debt, maintaining less than 5% in below-investment-grade issues. Managed by a team of professionals, MassMutual Core Bond Fund Class R5 plays a key role in fixed-income portfolios by providing broad exposure to the U.S. bond market, helping investors seek steady income and manage overall portfolio risk.
