About TBSIX

The fund tracks its results against the Bloomberg 1–3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Index and normally invests at least 80% of net assets in bonds. It features an expense ratio of approximately 0.34% for the I Class and is positioned within the short-term bond category, emphasizing disciplined risk management and broad sector exposure across Treasuries, agencies, corporates, and securitized credit. With hundreds of issuers and active management, it serves as a core short-duration allocation for institutions seeking income stability and diversification within fixed income markets.
