3 Top-Ranked Diversified Bond Mutual Funds to Hedge Your Portfolio
Read MoreHide Full Article
Mutual funds having significant exposure to diversified bonds are excellent choices for investors seeking steady returns with a relatively low level of risk. Investing in funds that maintain a portfolio of bonds issued across a wide range of market sectors also reduces sector-specific risk.
Moreover, investing in diversified bond funds is preferred to individual bond investing, as building a portfolio of the second type may prove relatively more expensive. A higher level of liquidity also makes diversified bond funds more attractive.
Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund invests most of its assets in debt securities like government bonds and notes, mortgage-related securities, corporate debts, including lower-grade, high-yield domestic and foreign corporate debts, “structured” notes, participation interests in loans, investments in pooled investment entities, asset-backed securities and zero-coupon securities. OPSIX advisors may also invest in foreign issues.
Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund has three-year annualized returns of 9.7%. As of the end of April 2025, OPSIX had 41.6% of its assets invested in Miscellaneous Bonds.
Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund invests most of its assets in a diversified portfolio of domestic and foreign investment grade and non-investment grade fixed-income securities. GSZAX advisors generally invest in U.S. and non-U.S. government sovereign debt securities, agency securities, corporate debt securities, privately issued adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, custodial receipts, municipal securities, loan participations, and loan assignments and convertible securities.
Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund has three-year annualized returns of 8.6%. GSZAX has an expense ratio of 1.06%.
Pimco Income Fund invests most of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, like forwards or derivatives instruments such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. PONAX advisors may also invest in high-yield securities rated below investment grade by Moody's, S&P or Fitch, or unrated which, according to the fund's portfolio managers, are of comparable quality.
Pimco Income Fund has three-year annualized returns of 8.4%. Joshua Anderson has been the fund manager of PONAX since end of July 2018.
