Notably, the fund's average effective duration is around 3 to 3.8 years, offering moderate sensitivity to changes in interest rates. With a substantial asset base, it is managed by PIMCO, a leader in fixed income management, and is distinguished by its broad diversification, monthly dividend distributions, competitive expense ratio, and low risk profile.
