About TCTRX
Nuveen Short Term Bond Fund Class A is an open‑end mutual fund focused on generating current income with limited interest‑rate sensitivity. The strategy invests primarily in a blend of U.S. Treasuries and agency securities alongside investment‑grade corporate bonds, generally keeping the portfolio’s average maturity under five years to emphasize short duration risk control. The fund maintains exposure across government, corporate, and securitized sectors, with notable allocations to U.S. Treasury notes and investment‑grade issuers, reflecting its emphasis on high credit quality. It targets a short‑term bond category profile, seeking to balance income with capital preservation by concentrating in investment‑grade fixed income and managing effective duration near the lower end of the intermediate spectrum. With a long track record and substantial assets under management, the fund serves investors seeking a core short‑term bond allocation that can complement cash and ultra‑short holdings while tempering volatility relative to longer‑duration bond strategies. The Class A share class features a front‑load structure and an expense ratio in line with similarly distributed peers.
