About TPCAX

Managed with a focus on both credit quality and interest rate sensitivity, the fund balances exposure to interest rate risks and strives to capture opportunities across the fixed income market. Its portfolio is benchmarked against widely recognized indices such as the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
