Macquarie Diversified Income Fund Class C (DPCFX)

Overview

The company operates within the investment sector, focusing on a diversified approach by targeting four key areas of the fixed income securities markets. These include the U.S. investment grade sector, the U.S. high yield sector, international developed markets, and emerging markets. With an investment strategy that mandates a minimum of 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to be allocated in fixed income securities, the company aims to offer investors exposure to a wide array of income-generating assets. Furthermore, the company adopts a cautious stance on emerging markets, limiting its exposure to a maximum of 20% of the fund’s net assets to mitigate potential risks associated with these regions.

Products and Services

• U.S. Investment Grade Sector Investments

This service focuses on securities that are considered to have a lower risk of default and thus are rated as investment-grade in the United States. These include corporate bonds, government securities, and other fixed-income investments that offer reliable returns for conservative investors seeking stability and moderate income over time.

• U.S. High Yield Sector Investments

Targeting the more lucrative, albeit riskier, segment of the U.S. bond market, this product caters to investors looking for higher income. It involves investing in bonds rated below investment grade, popularly known as junk bonds. These securities offer higher interest rates, compensating for their increased risk of default.

• International Developed Markets Sector Investments

Expanding the investment horizon beyond the U.S., this product offers exposure to fixed income securities in developed markets outside the United States. These investments are selected from countries with established, stable economies, and financial markets, aiming to provide a balanced mix of yield, security, and potential for appreciation.

• Emerging Markets Sector Investments

Designed for those willing to take on more risk for the potential of higher returns, this investment area focuses on fixed income securities from emerging markets. Although limited to no more than 20% of the fund’s net assets to manage exposure to risk, it provides an avenue to diversify portfolios and capitalize on the growth in developing economies.
