- Guggenheim Limited Duration Fund Class P (GILPX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks to provide a high level of income consistent with preservation of capital by investing at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of debt securities, financial instruments that perform similarly to debt securities, investment vehicles providing exposure to debt securities, and debt-like securities, including individual securities, investment vehicles, and derivatives offering exposure to fixed-income markets; its portfolio primarily comprises collateralized loan obligations, asset-backed securities, non-agency mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasuries and agencies, high yield corporate bonds, bank loans, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities, preferred securities, private placements, equity, foreign government and agencies, agency mortgage-backed securities, derivatives, and municipal bonds. The fund distributes income accrued daily and paid monthly, benchmarks performance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Total Return Index, and targets institutional and high-net-worth investors through platforms available in the United States with a minimum initial investment of typically $0 for P Class shares. Managed by Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (adviser) and distributed by Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the fund operates within the short-term bond category of the fixed income industry segment.
Incepted on May 1, 2015, with headquarters aligned to Guggenheim Partners in Chicago, Illinois (though domiciled in the United States as part of Guggenheim Funds Trust), GILPX maintains net assets of approximately $5 billion across its share classes and has delivered competitive risk-adjusted returns, earning a 4-star Morningstar rating overall, for 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods as of September 30, 2025, among short-term bond funds. The P Class features a net expense ratio of 0.75% (adjusted to 0.70%), reflecting a contractual fee waiver by the adviser through February 1, 2026. As of recent data, the fund reports a 30-day subsidized SEC yield of 4.30%, distribution yield of 4.37%, and holdings numbering around 675 securities with low interest-rate sensitivity and mid-credit quality focus.
Recent developments include sustained portfolio management continuity under CIO Anne Walsh and CIO Fixed Income Steven Brown, alongside Portfolio Managers Adam Bloch (since 2017) and Evan Serdensky (since 2023), following the passing of former CIO Scott Minerd in 2022; the team leverages extensive research support from over 50 corporate credit specialists and dedicated macro, rates, and structured credit groups. The fund has maintained stable operations with no reported acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, name changes, or major strategic shifts in the last 1-2 years, focusing instead on consistent yield generation amid fixed-income market volatility, evidenced by ongoing fee waivers through early 2026 and monthly dividend payouts such as $0.082884 most recently. Total net assets stand at approximately $5.18 billion across classes, underscoring Guggenheim's scale in U.S. fixed income strategies.
