About OSTCX
JPMorgan Short Duration Bond Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating current income while seeking preservation of capital through a diversified portfolio of high- and medium-grade U.S. fixed-income securities with short effective durations. The strategy concentrates on the short-term bond segment, typically emphasizing maturities in the one- to three-year range to reduce interest-rate sensitivity relative to intermediate and long-term bond funds. The fund distributes income monthly and has a long operating history dating back to 2001, supported by a large asset base and a multi-manager team from J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Its mandate positions it as a core short-duration holding for conservative fixed-income allocations, aiming to balance income generation with lower volatility. Within its category, it is commonly compared to benchmarks such as the Bloomberg U.S. 1–3 Year Government/Credit indexes and the Bloomberg U.S. Govt 1–3 Yr Total Return, reflecting its focus on investment-grade, short-maturity exposures across government and corporate issuers. Morningstar classifies it in the Short-Term Bond category, highlighting its role for investors seeking stability and modest return potential from the front end of the yield curve.
