About NEFZX
Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund Class A is a multisector bond mutual fund designed to deliver high current income with a secondary objective of capital growth. The portfolio employs a value-driven, flexible mandate across global fixed income, spanning U.S. investment-grade and high yield corporate credit, securitized assets, bank loans, and sovereign and emerging markets debt. The strategy can allocate opportunistically across sectors and geographies, including below-investment-grade and foreign issuers, and may incorporate derivatives and Treasury futures for duration and risk management. It also has the latitude to invest up to a portion of assets in preferred and dividend-paying common stocks, reflecting an equity-like, deep fundamental research approach to security selection. Managed by an experienced Loomis Sayles team known for active, high-conviction credit investing, the fund seeks to exploit cross-sector dislocations and relative value to build diversified income streams while maintaining robust risk awareness throughout the process.
Performance
NEFZX had a total return of 3.35% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 6.40%.
