Victory Short-Term Bond Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on investment-grade fixed income with a mandate to seek high current income while preserving principal. The portfolio concentrates on bonds with a dollar‑weighted average maturity of three years or less, emphasizing U.S. government, agency, corporate, mortgage‑backed, and asset‑backed securities to maintain limited interest rate sensitivity and moderate credit risk. The strategy normally invests at least 80% of assets in investment‑grade debt, with the flexibility to allocate up to 10% to below‑investment‑grade issues to enhance income. Recent characteristics reflect a short effective duration around two years and a diversified book of nearly a thousand holdings, with U.S. Treasury notes among the largest positions. The fund distributes income monthly and is designed to provide greater income potential than money market vehicles while helping stabilize multi‑asset portfolios through bond exposure. Managed by Victory Income Investors, it targets the short‑term bond category’s role as a core, lower‑volatility building block for investors seeking consistent income and measured interest rate exposure.
