About PCMZX

Virtus Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund Class C is a short-term bond mutual fund focused on generating total return through current income with controlled interest rate sensitivity. The strategy invests primarily in short‑duration fixed income across a diversified set of up to 14 global bond sectors, employing a flexible, multi‑sector approach to rotate among corporate credit, asset‑backed and mortgage‑backed securities, and select non‑U.S. exposures to balance opportunity and risk. The fund is managed by Newfleet Asset Management, which emphasizes rigorous risk management and aims to maintain an effective duration in the 1–3 year range to help limit net asset value fluctuations tied to rate moves. It distributes income on a monthly basis and targets higher quality, liquid securities while allowing opportunistic allocations across the fixed income universe. Within the short-term bond category, the fund’s mandate positions it as a core-plus option for investors seeking a blend of stability and diversified credit exposure in the front end of the yield curve. According to fund materials, it has a longstanding process and team continuity supporting its multi-sector execution.
