About NEZNX
Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund Class N is a multisector bond mutual fund designed to deliver high current income with a secondary objective of capital growth. Managed by an experienced team, it employs a high‑conviction, value‑driven approach that actively allocates across global fixed income sectors, including investment‑grade and high yield credit, securitized assets, and sovereign debt, with flexibility to invest in foreign and emerging markets and select dividend‑paying equities and preferred stock. The strategy has no formal limits on non‑U.S. or below‑investment‑grade exposure, enabling the portfolio to exploit cross‑sector relative‑value opportunities while using risk‑awareness tools to balance credit, interest rate, currency, and liquidity risks. Benchmarked to the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index, the fund sits in the flexible/multisector bond category, aiming to provide diversified income streams and potential total return through active security selection and tactical duration and currency positioning. As of mid‑2025, the fund reported multi‑billion‑dollar assets and highlights a deep research process that emphasizes fundamental analysis and issue selection across the global bond markets.
