Muzinich Dynamic Income Fund Supra Institutional Shares (MZCSX) is an open-ended investment company that follows a flexible, go-anywhere strategy within global credit markets to provide high yield income and capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in fixed or floating rate income-producing instruments, primarily corporate bonds and syndicated loans—including floating rate loans—issued by U.S. and international companies; it also allocates to derivatives such as EUR/USD forwards and Treasury futures, U.S. Treasury notes, European CLOs, asset-backed securities, and government-related instruments, with approximately 53% in U.S. bonds, 49% in non-U.S. bonds, and a defensive shift possible to cash or U.S. Government securities during market stress. The Fund targets institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $1 million, features a net expense ratio of 0.60%, daily pricing, and a maximum redemption fee of 1.00%; total net assets stand at $165.29 million, with the share class at $66.76 million.
Launched on January 3, 2013, and domiciled in the United States, MZCSX operates within the multisector bond category and is available for sale exclusively in the U.S.. It is managed by a team at Muzinich & Co., a privately-owned investment firm founded in 1988 with primary headquarters in New York and London, and additional offices across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and other regions to support global credit research and operations.
Recent developments include multiple portfolio manager additions in 2025, with Corentin Tarlier and Ian Horn joining on April 30 and Eric Schure on September 12, complementing the core team of Michael McEachern (since inception), Warren Hyland, Thomas Samson, Joseph Galzerano, and Stuart Fuller; these changes maintain strong conviction in the fund's process despite supporting cast adjustments. Muzinich & Co. announced a strategic partnership with SMBC Group in European leveraged finance to enhance public broadly syndicated loan capabilities and was named European Asset Management Firm of the Year (up to €100 billion) at the Funds Europe Awards 2025; the firm also adopted Fund Recs' EMIR reconciliation platform in 2024 for regulatory compliance. The firm's assets under management grew to support expanded private debt offerings, including aviation finance acquisitions and a collateralized loan obligation platform.
