About WAPRX
Western Asset Core Plus Bond Fund Class R is an actively managed mutual fund focused on delivering total return through a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities. The fund primarily invests in a broad mix of debt instruments, including investment-grade bonds and other high-quality fixed income assets, while maintaining flexibility to allocate across various maturities and sectors.
