About MXSDX
Empower Short Duration Bond Fund Investor Class is an open-end mutual fund focused on high-quality, U.S.-dollar fixed income with a short interest-rate profile. Its primary objective is to provide current income while limiting interest-rate sensitivity by maintaining a typical duration range of about one to three and a half years, consistent with the short-term bond category. The portfolio invests predominantly in investment-grade corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury notes and bills, and securitized instruments such as asset-backed securities, supplemented by cash equivalents for liquidity management. This short-duration orientation aims to dampen price volatility relative to intermediate and long-term bond strategies, aligning it with more conservative fixed income allocations. The fund’s holdings have included issues from major U.S. financial institutions alongside U.S. government securities, reflecting a diversified credit mix within investment grade. Category placement and peer comparisons position it as a core short-term bond option for investors seeking capital preservation with income and reduced rate risk versus longer-duration funds.
