About NSTIX

Columbia Short Term Bond Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating current income while seeking limited fluctuations in principal. The portfolio invests primarily in high-quality, U.S. dollar–denominated bonds across government, agency, corporate, and securitized sectors, maintaining short interest rate exposure to moderate sensitivity to rate moves. The strategy targets at least 80% of assets in bonds and typically emphasizes investment‑grade credit, with selective allocations to asset‑backed and mortgage‑related securities to diversify income sources. The fund distributes income monthly and is positioned within the short‑term bond category, aiming to balance yield with capital stability through a diversified mix of issuers and structures. With a long operating history dating back to the early 1990s, the fund serves as a core short-duration fixed income holding for investors seeking a conservative complement to broader bond or equity allocations, offering broad sector coverage and professional credit selection within a constrained duration profile.
