About SGVAX

Western Asset Mortgage Total Return Fund Class A is a mutual fund that pursues a high current return by primarily investing in mortgage-backed securities. The fund commits at least 80% of its assets to investment grade securities, including agency and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and other securitized debt. By leveraging Western Asset’s global investment platform and combining top-down macroeconomic analysis with bottom-up research, this fund aims to deliver diversified exposure to the mortgage sector. Its portfolio is mostly concentrated in securities from government-sponsored entities such as FNMA (Fannie Mae), GNMA (Ginnie Mae), and FHLMC (Freddie Mac), with additional allocations to asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The fund appeals to investors seeking diversification beyond traditional corporate credit markets and is structured to balance risk and return within the income-focused segment of the fixed-income market. As part of the Franklin Templeton group, the fund is managed under strict investment discipline and risk controls, with an emphasis on credit quality and income consistency.
