JPST is an actively managed, ultra-short-term, broad-market bond fund that taps the expertise of JPMorgan`s macroeconomic and sector research. The fund invests in fixed, variable, and floating rate debt including corporate issues, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-related debt as well as US government and agency debt including treasuries. While the fund generally only invests in USD denominated securities, issues can include securities from foreign issuers. The fund will also concentrate its investments in the banking industry. In a difficult area of the market to reach via an index, JPST is another active option.
