About PDVYX
Putnam Diversified Income Trust is an open‑end mutual fund focused on multi‑sector fixed income. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of current income while seeking preservation of capital, using a flexible mandate across traditional and alternative bond markets. The strategy invests mainly in securitized debt such as mortgage‑backed securities and related derivatives, alongside corporate and government obligations worldwide, including bank loans spanning investment‑grade and below‑investment‑grade credit tiers with intermediate‑ to long‑term maturities. The portfolio’s securitized sleeve is a notable anchor, with sizable allocations to agency mortgage‑backed pools from issuers such as Federal National Mortgage Association and Government National Mortgage Association, complemented by cash and other opportunistic holdings. Designed as a nontraditional bond fund, it seeks diversified sources of return beyond a single benchmark, using active sector rotation, credit selection, and derivative tools to manage rate and credit risks. By drawing on a broad global opportunity set and high turnover to adjust exposures, Putnam Diversified Income Trust plays a role as a core‑plus or satellite income holding within fixed‑income allocations, aiming to balance income generation with risk management across cycles.
