About WAPSX

Western Asset Core Plus Bond Fund Class IS is an actively managed mutual fund focused on fixed income investments across various maturities. Its primary function is to pursue total return by investing at least 80% of its assets in a diversified mix of debt and fixed income securities, while maintaining a dollar-weighted average effective duration closely aligned with that of the U.S. bond market. The fund has the ability to allocate up to 20% of assets to non-U.S. dollar denominated securities, offering a measure of global diversification. As an intermediate core-plus bond fund, it is characterized by a flexible approach, allowing selective exposure to higher-yielding sectors such as emerging market debt and derivatives, which can contribute both to its yield and volatility. The fund’s portfolio typically includes government, corporate, and derivative instruments, balancing credit quality and interest rate sensitivity at medium levels. Catered towards institutional investors, it requires a high minimum initial investment and offers monthly income distributions. In the financial market, the Western Asset Core Plus Bond Fund Class IS serves as a versatile component for diversified portfolios seeking consistent income with an enhanced opportunity for total return versus traditional core bond strategies.
