About TASTX
Transamerica Short-Term Bond Fund Class R6 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating a high level of income with limited principal volatility. According to the sponsor and third-party profiles, the strategy invests primarily in short‑term and intermediate‑term investment‑grade bonds, including corporate debt, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or foreign governments, and mortgage‑backed securities. Positioned within the short‑term bond category, it seeks to balance income and liquidity by emphasizing higher‑quality credit and shorter interest‑rate exposure relative to core bond funds. The fund typically holds a diversified portfolio across hundreds of fixed‑income instruments, reflecting broad sector and issuer exposure to mitigate idiosyncratic risk. As an R6 share class, it is designed for retirement plans and institutional platforms, generally featuring a lower expense structure and no sales loads compared with retail share classes. The fund’s role in portfolios is to serve as a conservative fixed‑income anchor for cash management, liability‑aware strategies, and diversification away from equity risk, while offering monthly income distribution consistent with its short‑duration profile.
