About DHEAX

Diamond Hill Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund Investor Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on high-quality, short-maturity fixed income. Its primary objective is to maximize total return while preserving capital, achieved by concentrating on securitized credit—such as asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and related structured securities—with an average portfolio duration typically under three years to limit interest‑rate sensitivity. The fund invests predominantly in investment‑grade bonds and maintains a broad, diversified portfolio, complemented by liquidity holdings, to manage risk across sectors of the securitized market. Management emphasizes bottom‑up security selection in less efficient segments of structured credit, seeking stable income and incremental spread relative to traditional short-term government and corporate benchmarks. Positioned within the short‑term bond category, it targets investors seeking a conservative core bond allocation with exposure to securitized assets and regular distributions, balancing credit quality, duration control, and diversification to play a defensive role in fixed income portfolios.
