About TSTIX

Transamerica Short-Term Bond Fund Class I is an actively managed mutual fund that seeks a high level of income while emphasizing limited principal fluctuation and liquidity. The portfolio focuses on investment‑grade fixed income across short‑ and intermediate‑term corporate bonds, obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. or foreign governments, and mortgage‑backed securities, aligning with the short‑term bond category’s lower interest‑rate sensitivity profile. The fund typically maintains durations in the 1 to 3.5‑year range common to its peer group, appealing to investors prioritizing stability over longer-dated credit exposure. It distributes income monthly and is positioned as a core short‑duration holding within a broader fixed‑income allocation. Launched in 2009, it has amassed multi‑billion‑dollar assets and is offered in an institutional share class with a stated high minimum that may be waived for eligible investors. Its role in the market is to provide a diversified, investment‑grade bond allocation that can dampen volatility relative to intermediate and long‑term strategies while maintaining consistent income generation.
