About QLMYTX

Western Asset Variable Global High Yield Bond Portfolio Class II is a mutual fund focused on generating income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in high yield fixed income securities. The portfolio allocates at least 80% of its assets to high yield bonds, commonly referred to as "junk bonds," which are issued by both U.S. and foreign corporations as well as foreign governments and their agencies. This diversified global approach provides exposure to a wide range of industries, including capital goods, consumer cyclical, energy, technology, finance, and emerging market government debt. The fund's average credit quality is in the B range, reflecting its focus on securities with higher risk and correspondingly higher potential yield. With an effective duration of around 3.5 years and a yield-to-maturity above 7%, the portfolio is positioned to benefit from global credit market opportunities while managing interest rate risk. Its role in the financial market is to offer investors access to a specialized, actively managed strategy that seeks higher income through diverse global high yield exposures.
