About SCSTX

Sterling Capital Quality Income Fund Class C is an open-end mutual fund that primarily aims to maximize total return by generating steady income while preserving capital. It focuses on investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any investment borrowings, in a diversified portfolio of securitized debt obligations. These typically include asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations. The fund emphasizes investment-grade securities, selecting holdings that are rated among the four highest quality categories by nationally recognized rating agencies or deemed comparable by the management team. With a portfolio predominantly exposed to securitized instruments such as those issued by government-sponsored entities, the fund seeks to serve income-oriented investors who value diversification within the fixed income universe. Sterling Capital Quality Income Fund Class C plays a role in the intermediate core bond category, balancing credit quality and interest rate sensitivity, and is structured to provide consistent cash flow through routine distributions, with a particular focus on maintaining quality within its asset mix.
