Johnson Institutional Core Bond Fund Class F (JIMFX)

Overview

The investment strategy primarily focuses on a diversified portfolio of investment-grade fixed-income securities. By allocating at least 80% of its net assets, along with any borrowings, into high-quality bonds and similar debt instruments, the fund aims to achieve stable returns. This inclusive approach spans across various sectors and geographies, focusing on corporate and government issuances, both domestically and internationally. Not confining itself to a specific maturity spectrum, the fund strategizes to maintain its portfolio's dollar-weighted duration within a 4 to 8 years range, balancing between yield optimization and risk management.
