Sterling Capital Short Duration Bond ETF is an actively managed fixed-income exchange-traded fund sponsored by Sterling Capital Funds and managed by Sterling Capital Management. The fund seeks to provide current income and competitive total return through investment primarily in a diversified portfolio of short-duration, investment-grade fixed-income securities. Its principal investment categories include U.S. corporate bonds; U.S. government and agency securities; mortgage-backed securities; asset-backed securities, including automobile-loan and equipment-financing receivables; commercial mortgage-backed securities; collateralized loan obligations; municipal securities; convertible securities; preferred securities; cash equivalents; and, subject to portfolio limits, below-investment-grade, non-U.S.-dollar-denominated, and emerging-market debt securities. The portfolio is managed using a top-down process encompassing interest-rate and yield-curve positioning, sector allocation, credit-risk assessment, relative-value analysis, and individual-security selection. The fund is designed for U.S. investors seeking actively managed short-duration bond exposure and is benchmarked for comparison purposes against the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate/Government Bond Index. Sterling Capital Short Duration Bond ETF is listed on Cboe BZX Exchange under the ticker SCSB and carries a 0.33% expense ratio. The strategy originated as an open-end mutual fund on November 30, 1992, and Sterling Capital Funds reorganized it into the ETF structure effective March 30, 2026; no substantive change was made to its investment objective, strategy, or risk profile in connection with the reorganization. Recent portfolio activity reflects continued allocation across investment-grade corporate, securitized, government-related, and municipal fixed-income instruments, with the fund managed by co-portfolio managers Mark Montgomery and Peter Brown. Sterling Capital Management is an investment-management firm headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States.
