About SIGAX

Western Asset Corporate Bond Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income while preserving capital through diversified investments in corporate debt securities. The fund primarily targets investment-grade corporate bonds, leveraging the global research capabilities of Western Asset’s investment platform and a disciplined, value-oriented strategy. Its portfolio typically maintains more than 65% allocation to corporate debt and restricts exposure to non-U.S. and below-investment-grade bonds, aligning with its risk-controlled, income-focused approach. The fund is known for its broad diversification—holding several hundred bonds across industries and issuers—and generally exhibits moderate interest rate sensitivity, with an effective duration around seven years. Distributions to shareholders are made monthly, making it suitable for those seeking regular income. With a long-standing track record since its 1992 inception, the fund plays a significant role in the U.S. fixed income landscape, serving investors who prioritize stability, cash flow, and exposure to high-quality corporate credit.
