Core Plus Bond Funds

Core-plus bond funds invest primarily in investment-grade U.S. fixed-income issues including government, corporate, and securitized debt. However, they generally have greater flexibility than core offerings to hold non-core sectors such as corporate high yield, bank loan, emerging-markets debt, and non-U.S. currency exposures.
