About LSDNX

Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Bond Fund Class N is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating above‑average total return through a mix of current income and capital appreciation. The portfolio targets a weighted average duration generally between two and five years and remains closely aligned with an intermediate government/credit benchmark, emphasizing interest‑rate risk that is moderate by design. The strategy invests exclusively in US dollar–denominated, investment‑grade securities at purchase, combining top‑down macro positioning with bottom‑up security selection. Notable sector exposures include investment‑grade corporate bonds, securitized credit such as asset‑backed and mortgage‑related securities, and US Treasurys, reflecting a diversified approach across high‑quality credit and government markets. As of recent characteristics, the fund maintained an average maturity near four years and a weighted average duration of roughly 3.7 years, consistent with its intermediate profile. Portfolio management is led by a dedicated team that evaluates each holding for return potential and its contribution to overall risk, aiming to balance income generation with prudent interest‑rate and credit exposure.
