About STBFX
Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on preserving capital while generating current income through a diversified portfolio of short‑term corporate and government bonds. The strategy maintains a dollar‑weighted average maturity of typically less than three years, seeking to limit interest rate sensitivity and dampen volatility relative to longer‑duration bond funds. It invests primarily in U.S. issuers and includes exposure to Treasury securities, agency debt, and high‑quality corporates across multiple industries, reflecting a conservative credit orientation and broad sector diversification. The fund emphasizes measured duration management, as indicated by an effective duration near the low end of the short‑term bond category, aligning with its focus on near‑term cash flows and stability. With a long operating history since 1995 and a minimum initial investment suited to a broad investor base, Sextant Short-Term Bond Fund serves as a core short‑duration fixed income allocation for investors seeking steady income and reduced interest rate risk within a diversified portfolio.
