About TAAQX

Transamerica Short-Term Bond I3 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating a high level of income while seeking minimal fluctuation in principal and maintaining liquidity. The portfolio typically invests at least 80% of assets in short-duration fixed income, emphasizing investment-grade securities across U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds, and securitized assets, with an effective duration around the lower end of the curve to limit interest-rate sensitivity. The fund distributes income monthly and sits in the Short-Term Bond category, positioning it as a core cash-plus or defensive fixed income allocation within diversified portfolios. Recent disclosures highlight exposure to two-year Treasury futures, U.S. Treasury notes, repurchase agreements, and high-quality corporate issuers across financials and industrials, reflecting a blend of government and credit risk to balance yield and stability. Its mandate prioritizes liquidity and controlled credit risk while aiming to provide consistent income, making it relevant for investors seeking a conservative bond sleeve that can complement broader fixed income or equity holdings within the market’s income-oriented segment.
