About PFTPX

PIMCO Low Duration Income Fund Class I-2 is an open-end mutual fund specializing in the short-term bond category, managed by the renowned investment firm PIMCO. The fund’s primary goal is to maximize current income, with a secondary objective of pursuing long-term capital appreciation. It achieves this by investing at least 65% of its assets in a diversified, multi-sector portfolio of fixed income securities of varying maturities, focusing particularly on variable and floating-rate bonds with a duration typically under three years. Notably, the fund may allocate up to 30% of its assets in high yield securities rated below investment grade, allowing for diversified exposure while managing risk within prudent guidelines. Key characteristics of the PIMCO Low Duration Income Fund Class I-2 include a substantial asset base, institutional share class structure, and a relatively high turnover reflecting active management. The fund distributes income monthly and features a competitive yield, making it attractive to investors seeking regular cash flow and lower interest rate sensitivity than longer-duration bond funds. Its holdings span U.S. government, corporate, securitized, and derivative instruments, positioning it as a versatile tool within fixed income allocation strategies and a core holding for those aiming to balance stability with income generation in fluctuating markets.
