About RSBYX

Russell Investments Short Duration Bond Fund Class Y is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating current income and preserving capital through a portfolio of short-duration fixed income securities. The strategy emphasizes limited interest-rate sensitivity by concentrating on bonds with shorter maturities, aiming to dampen volatility relative to core bond funds while maintaining diversified credit exposure. The fund employs a multi-manager, multi-sector approach typical of Russell Investments, allocating across high-quality government, corporate, securitized, and other investment-grade instruments to balance yield and stability. With hundreds of holdings, it pursues broad diversification to reduce idiosyncratic risk and provide consistent income across market cycles. Its role in the market is as a defensive fixed income allocation for investors seeking a step up from cash equivalents with lower duration risk than intermediate bond funds, making it a potential stabilizer within broader asset allocations and a liquidity-aware vehicle for managing short- to medium-term liabilities.
