About PGGDX
Putnam Global Income Trust is an actively managed mutual fund focused on seeking high current income through global fixed-income investments. The fund primarily invests in debt securities issued by sovereign and private entities worldwide, including both developed and emerging markets, and may also include supranational issuers. It is categorized as a global bond fund and typically allocates a significant portion—often over 40%—of its assets to bonds issued outside the United States, which enables broad exposure across different currencies and interest rate environments. Notably, the portfolio may contain a mix of investment-grade and, at times, lower-rated bonds, giving it further diversification potential and flexibility in navigating various market cycles. Industry exposure is diversified across sectors such as consumer defensive, energy, real estate, and utilities. The fund plays a key role for investors or institutions aiming to enhance income, achieve global diversification, and manage interest rate and currency risks within their fixed-income allocations.
