- Guggenheim Total Return Bond Fund Class C (GIBCX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation, through investment in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities. The fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to debt securities of any quality, rated or unrated, including U.S. government bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities such as Uniform MBS 30 Year and agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, preferred stock, and convertible securities; it also permits investments in debt from developed and emerging markets, with holdings diversified across sectors like corporate bonds (30.44%), asset-backed (23.36%), government (15.62%), and cash equivalents. Available to U.S. investors through multiple share classes including A (GIBAX), Institutional (GIBIX), P (GIBLX), and R6 (GIBRX), the fund features a net expense ratio of 1.60% for Class C shares, a 1.00% deferred load, monthly distributions accrued daily, and a minimum initial investment of $2,500; it benchmarks performance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index and maintains moderate interest-rate sensitivity and mid credit quality in the intermediate core-plus bond category. Managed by Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC as investment adviser and Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC as distributor, with a portfolio management team comprising CIO Guggenheim Partners Investment Management Anne Walsh (since inception), CIO Fixed Income Steven Brown (since April 2016), Portfolio Manager Adam Bloch (since April 2016), and Portfolio Manager Evan Serdensky (since January 2023), the fund operates from the United States with total net assets exceeding $29 billion across classes and is domiciled domestically. Launched on November 30, 2011, it draws on Guggenheim Partners, LLC's affiliated entities including Security Investors, LLC and Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC for research support across corporate credit, macro, rates, and structured credit. Recent developments include a contractual fee waiver by the adviser through February 1, 2026, limiting ordinary operating expenses and resulting in an adjusted expense ratio of 0.76% for certain classes; sustained 4-star Morningstar ratings as of September 30, 2025, for the Institutional Class across 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods among intermediate core-plus bond peers; and continuation of the investment model established by former CIO Scott Minerd, who passed away in 2022, under the current team amid stable operations and no reported acquisitions, partnerships, or major strategic shifts in 2024-2025.
