About RFBSX
Russell Investments Short Duration Bond Fund Class S is an actively managed mutual fund focused on delivering current income and capital preservation through a diversified portfolio of short‑maturity, investment‑grade fixed income securities. The strategy targets a short duration profile—typically in the 1 to 3.5‑year range associated with short‑term bond portfolios—to help reduce interest‑rate sensitivity relative to intermediate and long‑duration bonds. The fund employs a multi‑manager approach overseen by Russell Investments, blending specialized fixed income managers to balance yield, credit quality, and liquidity across sectors such as U.S. Treasuries, agency securities, corporate credit, and securitized assets. Within its category, it is designed to serve as a core short‑term bond holding, offering a potential ballast to broader portfolios while seeking consistent income through changing rate environments. Key characteristics tracked by third‑party research include assets under management, expense ratio, and historical risk‑adjusted performance versus short‑term benchmarks like the Bloomberg U.S. Government 1–3 Year Index and category peers. This positioning makes the fund a tool for investors looking to manage duration risk while maintaining exposure to high‑quality fixed income.
