FT 9031 Corporate Investment Grade Ladder-13 is a unit investment trust designed to deliver current income and preserve capital through a diversified portfolio of investment‑grade corporate bonds structured in a maturity ladder. The laddered approach staggers bond maturities—typically across near- to intermediate-term horizons—aiming to balance income generation with reinvestment opportunities as bonds roll off and proceeds are redeployed along the ladder. The trust focuses on securities rated in the investment‑grade spectrum, emphasizing issuer credit quality while seeking to mitigate interest‑rate timing risk through its laddered structure. This construction is widely used in fixed income to smooth cash flows, maintain duration discipline, and provide periodic liquidity from maturing holdings without relying on secondary market sales. Within the market, the product serves income‑oriented investors and allocators looking for a defined, rules‑based term portfolio rather than an open‑ended fund, with transparent holdings and a finite life typical of unit investment trusts. Its role complements core fixed income allocations by offering structured exposure to corporate credit with a systematic maturity profile.
