About SNIDX

The Bernstein Intermediate Duration Portfolio is a mutual fund focused on providing safety of principal alongside a moderate to high level of taxable income. Classified within the intermediate core bond category, the fund primarily invests in fixed-income securities, maintaining an average portfolio credit quality of at least 'A' as determined by national rating agencies. Its strategy involves targeting an effective portfolio duration between three and seven years, making it sensitive to intermediate-term interest rate movements. The fund features a diversified portfolio, with significant exposure to U.S. Treasury securities, government agency bonds, and securitized assets, as shown by dominant holdings in Treasury notes and mortgage-backed securities. With hundreds of holdings and a notable concentration in high-quality government debt, the fund emphasizes both income generation and principal preservation. It distributes dividends monthly, offering investors regular income, and typically appeals to those seeking a balance between yield and risk in the fixed-income universe. The Bernstein Intermediate Duration Portfolio plays a key role in diversified portfolios as an anchor for stability and income, especially for investors with a moderate risk tolerance seeking exposure to the U.S. bond market.
