About TAASX

Transamerica Short-Term Bond Fund Class R is a diversified mutual fund focused on delivering income with muted interest-rate sensitivity by investing primarily in short-duration, investment-grade fixed income securities. The strategy emphasizes high-quality corporate bonds alongside government and securitized debt to manage credit risk while maintaining a short effective duration typical of the category. According to Morningstar, the portfolio’s allocation to investment‑grade corporates has been elevated in recent periods, reflecting a tilt toward credit carry within a conservative maturity profile. Sponsor materials highlight the fund’s mandate, performance history, and core characteristics consistent with a capital‑preservation role in a broader asset mix. In the market, this fund serves as a building-block holding for liquidity-conscious investors seeking steady coupon income, lower volatility than intermediate-term bond funds, and a buffer against sharp rate moves. Platforms such as Nasdaq provide ongoing performance and historical data, underscoring its role as a short-term fixed income option within defined contribution plans and advisory models. Markets coverage also tracks risk metrics and drawdown behavior relevant to short-duration bond strategies.
