Osterweis Strategic Income OSTIX

edited June 2011 in Fund Discussions
I'm wondering if anyone knows why there was a sudden drop in the subject fund? I remember this being one of Bob c"s favored choices.

  • I don't know this fund real well. But:

    1. Are you taking into account the income distribution on June 14? (See http://www.osterweis.com/default.asp?P=518012&S=518015)

    2. Remember that the median credit quality on the fixed income portfolio in this fund is around B; it's a high yield, short-duration portfolio. So I think the idea is that the income compensates for any weakness in the bonds' valuation.

    Just a couple of unsophisticated thoughts. Definitely recommend a review of the extensive materials on this fund on the Osterweis web site.

  • yep. looks like almost 16 cent distribution.
  • I found nothing in my account, probably because it was premature. Didn't think to check the website. Thanks guys.
