Seeking to Deliver on the Promise of Income + Growth

The fund has delivered strong outperformance while taking below-average risk across standard time periods compared to peers in the Morningstar Multisector Bond category.

Strategic Income also has a history of providing:

  • Outperformance during rising rates
  • Downside protection
  • Enhanced total return potential

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For performance current to the most recent month end, visit thornburg.com or call 877-215-1330. Class I shares may not be available to all investors. Minimum investments for the I share class may be higher than those for other classes.

Overview

Overview

Why Invest in This Fund?

  • Highly active and flexible approach – Designed to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing across sectors, credit qualities, and geographies within the global fixed income market.
  • Proven bottom-up fundamental process – Anchored in deep credit research to uncover what we believe are the most compelling opportunities based on relative value.
  • Opportunistic, multi-sector bond strategy – Seeks to outperform traditional core fixed income strategies with only modestly higher risk through selective, risk-aware positioning.

Investment Objective

The fund’s goal is to provide investors with a high level of current income. The fund also seeks to provide some long-term capital appreciation.

Investment Approach

The fund takes a flexible, opportunistic approach to global fixed income, implementing deep bottom-up credit research to uncover the most compelling relative value opportunities. Grounded in a disciplined, conservative philosophy, the strategy maintains a generally defensive posture to protect capital, seeking to participate in the upside while limiting the downside. The strategy also rotates into areas where fundamentals remain strong but valuations are dislocated, aiming to deliver consistent, risk-adjusted returns over time.

Hypothetical Growth of $10,000

(As of 31 Aug 2025)
(Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 vs Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index)

The Hypothetical Growth graph compares a hypothetical investment in the Fund to the performance of the Index for the stated time period. Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, as well as all fees and expenses.

The performance data quoted represents past performance; it does not guarantee future results.

Since the Fund has a limited performance history, data for the Thornburg Strategic Income Fund, a U.S. mutual fund, is shown. 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.

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

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.

Holdings within the Geography breakdown are classified by country of risk as determined by MSCI and Bloomberg.

Cash includes cash and cash equivalents. Weights are percentages of total portfolio unless otherwise noted.

Percentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
