About CEDBX

Columbia Total Return Bond 529 Portfolio Class I is a mutual fund designed to deliver a blend of current income and capital appreciation, making it a key fixed income offering for education savings under 529 plans. The portfolio primarily invests in a diversified mix of debt securities, including government, corporate, and mortgage-backed bonds, with an emphasis on a "core-plus" strategy. This approach allows managers to invest in a wide range of investment grade and select non-investment grade fixed income instruments. The fund’s holdings often feature a notable allocation to mortgage-backed securities, which can introduce periods of increased volatility compared to more traditional bond funds. Launched in September 2005, the portfolio serves individuals and families seeking to save for future education expenses while benefiting from professional bond management and diversification. Its moderate risk profile, consistent net expense ratio, and performance benchmarked against the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index position it as a significant fixed income solution within the education-focused investment landscape.
