About CTBYX

Columbia Total Return Bond Fund Institutional 3 Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on the intermediate core-plus bond category. Its primary objective is to deliver a total return that combines current income and capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of bonds. The fund utilizes a flexible investment approach, allowing for adaptation to changing market conditions through duration management, sector allocation, and targeted security selection. Its portfolio often has a significant allocation to mortgage-backed securities, contributing to returns but introducing potential volatility relative to peers. The fund benchmarks itself against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, measuring performance against this widely recognized standard. With a minimum initial investment of $1 million and an expense ratio of 0.38%, this institutional share class is tailored for large-scale investors. Regular monthly dividend distributions and a focus on broad fixed income sectors position the fund as a key option for institutions seeking income and capital stability across varying interest rate environments.
