Fund info

The Nuveen Core Plus Bond Fund R6 is an open-ended mutual fund focused on the U.S. fixed income market. Its primary objective is to deliver total return, mainly through generating current income. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in a wide range of bonds, including U.S. Treasury securities, agency bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities. A core feature of the fund is its two-segment structure: a minimum of 70% is allocated to investment-grade bonds, while up to 30% may be invested in securities with special characteristics or higher yield potential to enhance returns. This approach allows for broad diversification across credit qualities and maturities within the fixed-income universe. Managed by an experienced investment team, the fund employs both top-down and bottom-up research to identify undervalued opportunities and manage risk. It is benchmarked to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, providing investors with exposure to a representative sample of the core U.S. bond market. The fund’s moderate credit quality and interest rate sensitivity make it suitable for institutional investors seeking steady income and potential for capital appreciation within a diversified portfolio. As of the latest data, the fund manages several billion in assets and maintains a low expense ratio, reflecting its scale and efficiency.
