About RSBTX

Russell Investments Short Duration Bond Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating current income and preserving capital through a diversified portfolio of short‑maturity, investment‑grade fixed income securities. It targets the short‑term bond segment, where lower interest‑rate sensitivity is a defining characteristic due to its limited duration profile. The strategy employs multiple specialist managers and maintains a non‑fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of net assets in fixed income instruments under normal circumstances, emphasizing high‑quality corporate and government issues across sectors. Positioned within the short‑term bond category, the fund’s design aims to balance yield with stability, offering a conservative core fixed‑income holding that can moderate portfolio volatility and provide liquidity management benefits. Its performance is commonly assessed against benchmarks such as the Bloomberg U.S. Government 1–3 Year Index and category peers, reflecting its role as a defensive allocation amid shifting rate environments. By concentrating on shorter durations and broad sector exposure, Russell Investments Short Duration Bond Fund Class A serves investors seeking steady income, capital preservation, and disciplined risk control within the U.S. fixed income market.
