Fund info

Loomis Sayles Bond Fund Retail Class is a mutual fund focused on delivering a high total investment return by combining current income with long-term capital appreciation. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities, with at least 80% of net assets allocated to bonds and other debt instruments. It emphasizes investment-grade bonds but retains flexibility to invest up to 35% of assets in below-investment-grade bonds (also known as high-yield or junk bonds), and up to 20% in equity securities such as common and preferred stocks. This multi-sector approach allows the fund to adapt across market environments and interest rate cycles, seeking opportunities for yield and value. Managed by Loomis Sayles, the fund is structured for investors seeking broad exposure within the bond market, complemented by selective allocations to higher-yield sectors and occasional equity holdings. The portfolio typically features a moderate credit quality and interest rate sensitivity, with a diversified mix including U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, and structured products. With years of experienced management and a multi-sector mandate, this fund plays a distinctive role in the fixed income landscape by aiming for enhanced return through active sector and security selection while being conscious of risk characteristics.
