Company Description
Barings Global Short Duration High Yield Fund is a diversified closed-end management investment company that seeks current income through a portfolio of below-investment-grade income instruments. The fund’s primary investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income as its adviser determines is consistent with capital preservation. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective when it is consistent with the fund’s primary income objective.
The fund’s stated investment policy focuses on credit instruments rather than operating-company products or services. Under normal market conditions, Barings Global Short Duration High Yield Fund invests at least 80% of its Managed Assets in bonds, loans and other income-producing instruments that are rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. This mandate places the fund in the closed-end high-yield credit category, with exposure to securities and loans that generally carry higher credit risk than investment-grade debt.
As a closed-end fund, BGH is structured as an investment vehicle rather than a conventional operating company. Its business is centered on portfolio investment, asset management and shareholder capital, with economic results tied to investment income, realized and unrealized gains or losses, borrowing costs when leverage is used, and changes in the value of the underlying portfolio. The fund’s name indicates a global short-duration high-yield strategy, while its formal policy emphasizes below-investment-grade bonds, loans and other income-producing instruments.
