Transamerica Short-Term Bond Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on short-duration fixed income. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of income while aiming for minimal fluctuation in principal value and maintaining liquidity, positioning it as a conservative bond option within the short-term category. The portfolio emphasizes investment-grade credit with limited interest-rate sensitivity, reflecting a medium credit quality profile and an effective duration under two years, characteristics that help temper volatility from rate moves. The fund invests across corporate bonds, U.S. Treasuries, and cash equivalents, often using Treasury futures to fine-tune duration and liquidity management. With a front-load share class structure and an expense ratio typical for its peer group, it serves investors seeking a balance between income generation and capital stability over shorter horizons. Its role in the market is as a core short-term bond holding that can complement cash management strategies and diversify fixed income exposure away from longer-duration risks, while retaining daily liquidity and transparent portfolio oversight by Transamerica’s fixed income team.
