About PYLDX

Payden Low Duration Fund SI Class is an actively managed short-term bond mutual fund designed to deliver income and capital appreciation while limiting interest-rate sensitivity. The strategy invests broadly across U.S. dollar–denominated fixed income, emphasizing a minimum of 75% in investment‑grade securities while permitting up to a quarter in below‑investment‑grade bonds to enhance yield within a controlled risk budget. Core exposures span U.S. Treasuries, agencies, investment‑grade corporates, selective high yield, and securitized assets such as mortgage‑ and asset‑backed securities, complemented by futures for duration and curve positioning. The fund targets a low overall duration to mitigate price volatility versus longer‑maturity bond funds and uses the ICE BofA 1–3 Year U.S. Treasury Index as a benchmark reference point. Positioned within the short‑term bond category, it serves institutions seeking high average credit quality and liquidity-aware construction, with systematic risk management and monthly income distributions supporting cash management and core fixed‑income allocation needs.
