- Weitz Short Duration Income Fund Investor Class (WSHNX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Weitz Investment Management, Inc., that seeks current income consistent with the preservation of capital through a flexible, opportunistic investment strategy focused on short-duration fixed income securities. The fund invests primarily in investment-grade and non-investment-grade debt securities, including U.S. Treasury notes and bonds; asset-backed securities; agency and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities; collateralized mortgage obligations; collateralized loan obligations; corporate bonds; and cash equivalents such as money market instruments, maintaining an average effective duration generally between one and three and a half years. Portfolio allocations emphasize sectors like asset-backed (approximately 35%), government (18%), non-agency residential mortgage-backed (18%), agency mortgage-backed (17%), and corporate bonds (7%), with top holdings including JPMorgan US Government Money Market Institutional and various U.S. Treasury notes; the fund does not track a benchmark and flexibly pursues attractive risk/reward opportunities across U.S. and limited non-U.S. bond markets. Weitz Investment Management, Inc., a boutique, employee-owned firm founded in 1983 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, serves as the investment adviser, with the fund domiciled in the United States and available to investors through platforms requiring a minimum initial investment of $2,500. The Investor Class shares carry a net expense ratio of 0.62% and target individual and institutional investors seeking a short-term bond core allocation with downside risk management. Portfolio management is led by Thomas Carney, CFA, co-head of fixed income and manager since January 1996, alongside Nolan Anderson since July 2017; the fund's total net assets approximate $1.27 billion, with the Investor Class at about $28.84 million. In August 2025, Weitz Investment Management launched its first exchange-traded fund, the Weitz Core Plus Bond ETF (WCPB), marking a strategic expansion of its fixed income platform, which has experienced nearly 300% assets-under-management growth over the past two years; a second ETF, the Weitz Multisector Bond ETF (WMSB), is slated to begin trading in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Core Plus Income Fund (WCPBX), a related offering, received back-to-back LSEG Lipper Fund Awards in 2024 and 2025 for outstanding performance, underscoring the firm's disciplined fixed income approach. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, WSHNX delivered a 6.02% return, outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (4.88%), driven by contributions from asset-backed securities, U.S. Treasuries, non-agency CMOs, CLOs, and corporate bonds.
