About SBILX

Western Asset Corporate Bond Fund Class C1 is an open-end mutual fund designed to provide investors with exposure to the U.S. corporate bond market. Its primary function is to invest in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade and, to a lesser extent, high-yield corporate debt securities issued by U.S. and, on occasion, foreign corporations. The fund seeks to generate income through interest payments while also aiming for capital preservation. Key features include an annual expense ratio of 1.4% and the distribution of dividends once per year. The portfolio’s performance is benchmarked against the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index, reflecting its focus on capturing returns from value-oriented corporate credit investments. This mutual fund plays a significant role in the broader fixed-income sector by offering investors access to professionally managed corporate bond strategies, which can serve as a core income-generating component within a diversified portfolio. Over recent periods, it has displayed moderate returns and historical volatility, aligning with typical characteristics of corporate bond funds.
