About WACIX

Western Asset Core Plus Bond Fund Class FI is an actively managed mutual fund that primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities. The fund’s core objective is to maximize total return while maintaining prudent risk management and liquidity. Its investment strategy centers on high-quality, investment-grade bonds, with the flexibility to incorporate a broader selection of debt instruments—known as the "core plus" approach—which may include corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and a limited allocation to high-yield and international bonds. By maintaining at least 80% of its assets in debt and fixed income securities, the fund offers exposure to various maturities and sectors, aiming to provide income generation with moderate risk. The portfolio is managed with an eye toward aligning its duration with major bond market benchmarks, helping control interest rate sensitivity. This fund is particularly notable for its disciplined approach to credit selection and sector allocation, as well as its low overall exposure to carbon risk among its underlying holdings. Western Asset Core Plus Bond Fund Class FI plays a significant role for investors seeking a diversified, actively managed bond fund for income and total return potential within an intermediate-term bond allocation.
