About SSTVX

Allspring Short-Term Bond Plus Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund in the taxable fixed-income category focused on generating current income while emphasizing capital preservation. The strategy invests primarily in a diversified mix of short-duration debt with an average maturity under three years, targeting a duration of roughly one to two years to help moderate interest-rate sensitivity. The portfolio typically maintains significant exposure to spread sectors, including short-term corporate bonds, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities, complemented by U.S. Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities. The fund seeks to outperform the Bloomberg U.S. 1–3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index by allocating to higher-spread instruments within prudent risk controls. It is positioned within the short-term bond segment, aiming to deliver a steady income profile with relatively low price volatility compared to intermediate-term fixed income. Managed by Allspring, the fund employs rigorous credit research and risk management to balance yield opportunities with liquidity and quality considerations, serving investors seeking a conservative core bond holding with incremental return potential over government-focused short-duration benchmarks.
