Overview

Overview

Why Invest in This Fund?

  • Extension of Our Successful Fixed Income Platform – Thornburg has been managing fixed-income portfolios for over 40 years and is currently entrusted with more than $22B in fixed income client assets.
  • Conservative Investment Philosophy – Clients have been burned in the past as some managers chase high returns by taking on additional risk. Our approach is to take on risk only when we believe we will be compensated for doing so.
  • Portfolio Transparency – Some competitors use a large amount of rate and credit derivatives. With the Thornburg Core Plus Fund, you’ll know what you own.

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to maximize total return, consistent with the long-term preservation of capital.

Investment Approach

The fund is an actively managed strategy that seeks income and total return greater than core bonds, with a similar volatility as core. The fund will invest primarily in investment-grade bonds and up to 25% in securities rated below investment grade. We believe our unique, unsiloed approach to security analysis allows us to uncover relative value across different investments that many competitors may miss.
