About ISTFX

Invesco Short Term Bond Fund Class R6 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating total return through current income and modest capital appreciation from shorter‑duration fixed income securities. It primarily invests in investment‑grade bonds across corporates, securitized assets, and government issues, while maintaining a limited interest rate sensitivity profile consistent with the short‑term bond category. The portfolio employs broad sector diversification, including asset‑backed, mortgage‑backed, and commercial mortgage‑backed securities, alongside U.S. Treasuries and select non‑U.S. debt, to balance income and credit risk. The fund’s effective duration typically hovers around two years, aiming to reduce volatility relative to intermediate‑ or long‑duration strategies. Managed by an experienced team, it uses both top‑down macro views and bottom‑up credit research, with derivatives permitted to fine‑tune duration and sector exposures. Class R6 features an institutional pricing structure designed for retirement platforms and large investors, supporting cost‑efficient access to short‑term bond exposure. Within the market, it serves as a core short‑duration allocation for investors seeking a step up in yield from cash while maintaining conservative interest rate risk management.
