About STRFX

Sterling Capital Long Duration Corporate Bond Fund is a fixed-income mutual fund designed to maximize total return through investment in long-duration corporate bonds. The fund primarily targets U.S. corporate debt, focusing on securities with extended maturities to capture higher yields. With an average life exceeding 22 years and an effective duration of approximately 12 to 13 years, the fund is positioned for investors seeking exposure to longer-term interest rate environments and corporate credit risk. The portfolio consists of diversified holdings spanning sectors such as telecommunications, financials, and industrials, with significant allocations to well-known issuers and U.S. Treasury notes for balance. Its disciplined credit selection emphasizes quality while managing interest rate sensitivity. This fund plays a role in broader bond market strategies by providing investors with access to a segment of the yield curve that may serve as a hedge against inflation or as a component of a diversified fixed-income allocation.
