Our read on BOND
In short
BPIMCO's answer to the index core bond sleeve: an actively run, global fixed income portfolio that treats the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate as a yardstick, not a blueprint. Running since 2012, and you pay up for the manager.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks current income and long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed, diversified portfolio of fixed-income instruments. It may use derivatives and pursue strategic, bottom-up security selection.
