Morningstar Rating: Prior to inception of the Limited Term Income Fund UCITS, performance is hypothetical and was calculated from actual returns of the Thornburg Limited Term Income Fund, a U.S. mutual fund. Although the Fund is managed by the same investment team and utilizes a similar investment process as the U.S. mutual fund, the performance and portfolio composition of the Fund may differ due to UCITS regulations.
Flexible, active high-quality portfolio that consists primarily of U.S short- and intermediate-term investment grade bonds.
Proven bottom-up fundamental approach that seeks to identify attractive fixed income opportunities on a relative value basis.
Highly active strategy that seeks to deliver total return through income and preserve capital with moderate interest rate exposure.
Investment Objective
The fund’s goal is to provide investors as high a level of current income as is consistent with safety of capital. The fund also seeks to reduce changes in its share price compared to longer term portfolios.
Investment Approach
The fund employs a flexible and highly active approach to construct a portfolio of U.S. dollar–denominated short/intermediate investment grade bonds. It is designed for stability, capital preservation and moderate interest rate exposure. The fund seeks to drive returns through income and superior relative value issue selection in a dynamically changing fixed income environment.

A bond credit rating assesses the financial ability of a debt issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Ratings of AAA (the highest), AA, A, and BBB are investment-grade quality. Ratings of BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (the lowest) are considered below investment grade, speculative grade, or junk bonds. Credit quality ratings use the highest rating available from either S&P Global Ratings or Moody's Investors Service. Unrated securities are evaluated by the firm using available data and their own analysis that may be similar to that of a nationally recognized rating agency; however, such determination is not equivalent to a national agency credit rating. "NR" = Not Rated.
Weights are percentages of the total portfolio unless otherwise noted.
May not add up to 100% due to rounding.
Short-Term Investments, Other Assets & Liabilities includes cash, short-term securities, other assets less liabilities, accruals, derivatives and forwards. It may also include investments in money market or similar funds managed by Thornburg that are not offered to the public.
