About JSDSX

JPMorgan Short Duration Core Plus Fund Class I is an actively managed mutual fund in the short-term bond category that targets total return while emphasizing preservation of capital. The strategy employs a multi‑sector approach, combining bottom‑up security selection with top‑down macro insights to build a diversified portfolio across investment‑grade fixed income and select extended sectors. The fund seeks to maintain an effective duration of roughly two to three years, positioning it to moderate interest‑rate sensitivity relative to intermediate bond funds. It focuses primarily on investment‑grade securities while tactically allocating across sectors such as Treasuries, agency MBS, corporates, and securitized credit to enhance yield and diversification. As an institutional share class, it features a below‑average distribution fee level and an expense ratio around 0.39%. Morningstar categorizes it within Short‑Term Bond and notes credit risk above the category average, paired with limited interest‑rate sensitivity, reflecting its core‑plus mandate. The fund is designed to serve as a flexible core fixed income holding, providing diversification benefits versus equities and helping to dampen overall portfolio volatility within a conservative duration range.
