About PYSGX

Payden Strategic Income Fund Investor Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on multi-sector fixed income. The fund’s primary objective is to generate income by allocating across the full bond universe and maturity spectrum, combining investment-grade and high-yield corporates, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and selective exposure to emerging-markets debt. It employs a flexible, “best ideas” approach to uncover relative value globally, with discretion to invest anywhere along the yield curve and across geographies and credit tiers. The strategy is benchmarked to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and is positioned as a strategic income sleeve for long‑term investors seeking diversified bond exposure. Notable features include an emphasis on active sector rotation, use of derivatives such as Treasury futures and currency forwards for duration and risk management, and a measured risk posture acknowledging interest‑rate sensitivity. The Investor Class lists a net expense ratio of 0.66% and targets diversification benefits versus traditional core bond allocations by blending shorter-duration characteristics with opportunistic credit and global components. Founded and managed by Payden & Rygel, the fund reflects the firm’s long-standing expertise in global fixed income.
