BGH
Barings Global Short Duration High Yield FundThe Barings Global Short Duration High Yield Fund is a closed-ended mutual fund focused on fixed income, primarily overseen by Barings LLC, with co-management support from Babson Capital Global Advisors Limited. This fund allocates capital to fixed income markets across the globe. Its core holdings are predominantly high-yield bonds, loans, and other income-generating instruments worldwide. Upon acquisition, these securities must possess a credit rating below Baa3 from Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or below BBB- from Standard & Poor's Rating Services. The fund's strategy mandates a weighted average portfolio duration of no more than three years, and portfolio construction relies on a bottom-up fundamental analysis approach. Its investment performance is measured against the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield Constrained Index. Established on October 25, 2012, and registered in the United States, the fund was previously known as the Babson Capital Global Short Duration High Yield Fund.
Key Metrics
Distribution Yield
10.50%
The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.Annualized Distribution
$1.4676
The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.Frequency
M Monthly
How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.Rank Score
51.8
Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.RSI (14)
43
Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.52-Week Range
$13.19 – $16.80
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
n/a
The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.Years Paying
13
How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.S.A.F.E. Dividend Read
