Description: BGH Barings Global Short October 29, 2025

Barings Global Short Duration High Yield Fund (NYSE: BGH) is a U.S.-based mutual fund that invests primarily in short-duration, high-yield corporate bonds, positioning itself as a higher-yield alternative to investment-grade money-market funds.

Key metrics as of the latest filing (Q3 2024) show an average portfolio duration of roughly 1.8 years, a weighted-average credit rating near BB-, and a 30-day SEC yield of about 5.3 %. The fund’s assets under management stand at roughly $2.1 billion, with an expense ratio of 0.78 %. Its performance is closely tied to the broader high-yield spread environment, which is driven by Federal Reserve policy, recession expectations, and sector-specific credit trends-particularly in energy and consumer discretionary, where short-duration issuers tend to dominate the high-yield space.
