How the Fund Invests
The Barings Global Short Duration High Yield Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company managed by Barings LLC. It invests mainly in short-duration, global high yield bonds. The core objective is to deliver a high level of current income while keeping an eye on capital preservation; capital appreciation is a secondary goal.
To help manage interest-rate sensitivity, the Fund targets a weighted average portfolio duration of three years or less. That shorter duration focus is intended to temper the volatility that can come with longer-dated bonds.
Tax Treatment of Distributions
For tax purposes, not every dollar distributed is guaranteed to be net investment income. Portions of a distribution may be classified as short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain, or return of capital. Final tax characterizations are determined after the end of the fiscal year. Investors receive Form 1099-DIV to help with federal tax reporting.
