Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund Trust Corporate Bond Portfolio Class A is a mutual fund specializing in **corporate bonds** with an investment objective focused on achieving above-average total returns over a three-to-five-year market cycle. The fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade debt issued by corporations, emphasizing securities rated Baa or higher by Moody’s or BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s. Its strategy centers on selecting high- and medium-quality issuers by combining top-down macroeconomic analysis with rigorous bottom-up fundamental research, aiming to identify attractively valued bonds and major sectors such as financial institutions, industrials, and utilities. This portfolio typically maintains a weighted average maturity of five to ten years, providing exposure across a variety of sectors in the U.S. and limited non-U.S. corporate debt. Notable features include a strong focus on large-cap issuers, maintaining a relatively high credit quality—more than 85% of assets in A or BBB rated securities—and active risk management. The fund offers monthly income distribution and appeals to investors seeking consistent income and credit market diversification within the broader fixed-income landscape.
