About PHDCX
PIMCO High Yield Fund Class C is a mutual fund specializing in high-yield, or “junk,” bonds, aiming to deliver maximum total return while managing capital preservation and investment risk. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in lower-quality debt securities, typically rated below investment grade (BB or lower by major rating agencies), which offer higher yields but also entail greater credit and economic risk compared to higher-rated bonds. This approach is designed to capitalize on the income potential of riskier corporate bonds and related instruments, while employing active management and diversification to help mitigate default and market risks. The fund’s portfolio is chiefly composed of U.S. and some non-U.S. high yield bonds, supplemented by cash investments, government securities, and derivatives for risk management or return enhancement. PIMCO High Yield Fund Class C targets investors seeking higher income in exchange for accepting increased volatility and credit risk, as reflected in its Morningstar category of high-yield bond portfolios. As part of the broader fixed income sector, it plays a significant role in offering access to below-investment-grade credit markets, serving as a potential tool for portfolio diversification and income generation.
