About MSPHX
MassMutual Total Return Bond Fund Service Class is a mutual fund that seeks to deliver maximum total return, balancing income and capital appreciation, while maintaining a focus on capital preservation and prudent investment risk. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade fixed income securities, including U.S. government, corporate, and securitized debt instruments rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s, BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor's, or equivalent ratings by other agencies. As an intermediate core-plus bond fund, it also has the flexibility to allocate a portion of its assets to non-core segments such as high-yield, bank loans, emerging market debt, and non-U.S. currency exposures to enhance yield and diversify risk. Portfolio duration typically ranges between three and six years, aligning with strategies that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. By maintaining a broad mix of fixed income assets, the fund aims to offer investors regular monthly income distributions, diversification benefits, and the opportunity to manage volatility in dynamic market environments. The fund is managed by MassMutual Select and is suitable for investors seeking a core bond holding with measured exposure to a variety of fixed income sectors.
