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. Its investment mandate requires that at least 80% of its net assets are committed to debt and fixed income securities, supporting the fund’s goal of balancing yield generation and risk management. Notable features include a large asset base, monthly dividend payouts, and a history of investing across both government and corporate bond markets. By targeting a core-plus strategy, the fund seeks to enhance returns relative to traditional core bond funds through selective exposure to higher-yielding or opportunistic segments of the fixed income market. Western Asset Core Plus Bond Fund Class R plays a key role for investors seeking diversified fixed income exposure, contributing stability and income potential to both individual portfolios and institutional mandates.
