About PYLWX

Payden Low Duration Fund – Adviser Class is an actively managed short‑term bond mutual fund designed to seek income and capital appreciation while limiting interest‑rate sensitivity relative to intermediate‑term bond strategies. The portfolio primarily invests across U.S. government securities, investment‑grade and high‑yield corporate bonds, and mortgage‑ and asset‑backed securities, with a policy to hold at least 75% in investment‑grade issues and to keep a dollar‑weighted average maturity capped at four years under normal conditions. The strategy employs active management of duration, yield curve positioning, and selective currency exposure to balance income generation with risk control. Benchmarked to the ICE BofA 1–3 Year U.S. Treasury Index, the fund targets a higher return profile than cash alternatives while maintaining liquidity and relatively low volatility for the short‑term bond category. Adviser Class shares feature a comparatively low minimum initial investment and no front‑end sales load, aligning the vehicle for clients seeking a core low‑duration fixed income allocation with prudent credit diversification and disciplined risk management.
