Eagle Opens Bond Fund to Investors

Eagle Asset Management, a provider of equity and fixed-income investment strategies to institutional and individual investors, says its Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund opened to investors on March 1.

Modeled on Eagle’s established High Quality Taxable fixed-income separately managed accounts (SMA) portfolio, the Investment Grade Bond Fund seeks the capital preservation and portfolio stability that are fundamental to a conservatively managed fund.

The new fund will generally invest in individual intermediate- and short-term securities that the portfolio managers believe offer returns similar to longer duration bonds with considerably less risk.
