3 Top-Ranked Diversified Bond Mutual Funds With Strong Return Potential
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.
Goldman Sachs Dynamic Bond Fund invests most of its assets, along with borrowings, if any, in a diversified portfolio of domestic and foreign investment-grade and non-investment-grade fixed-income bonds. GSZAX advisors also invest in other fixed-income investments.
Goldman Sachs Dynamic Bond Fund has three-year annualized returns of 7.6%. As of the end of December 2025, GSZAX had 49% of its assets invested in Miscellaneous Bonds.
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 7%. PONAX has an expense ratio of 0.90%.
Templeton Global Bond Enhanced Fund invests most of its net assets primarily in fixed and floating rate debt securities and debt obligations like convertible bonds issues by governments, government agencies and government-related issuers worldwide, including supranational entities. TGTRX advisors also invest in derivative instruments or other investments that have economic characteristics similar to bonds.
Templeton Global Bond Enhanced Fund has three-year annualized returns of 6.4%. Michael Hasenstab has been the fund manager of TGTRX since the end of December 2008.
