About WCPNX
The Weitz Core Plus Income Fund Investor Class is an actively managed mutual fund classified within the intermediate core-plus bond category. Its primary objectives are to provide current income and preserve capital, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary goal. The fund maintains a flexible, multi-sector fixed income portfolio, investing at least 80% of its assets in a diverse array of debt securities, including U.S. government and corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and foreign debt instruments. This approach allows the fund to navigate different segments of the fixed income market, taking advantage of inefficiencies and adjusting allocations in response to changing market dynamics. Credit quality typically ranges from investment grade to select high-yield exposure, with a strong emphasis on managing downside risk rather than making speculative interest rate bets. Managed by an experienced team, the fund aims to deliver competitive risk-adjusted returns and has garnered recognition for consistent performance relative to its peers in the core-plus bond space. Monthly income distributions and a focus on both diversification and capital preservation underscore its role as a core fixed income holding for investors seeking steady returns with controlled risk.
