Baxter International’s bonds, as funds hold them

Funds report holding 15 issues of Baxter International’s debt, $2.01B at market value — what funds hold, not the company’s total debt. Weighted-average coupon 3.67%, maturing 2026 to 2051.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.

Fund ownership is a subset of institutional 13F ownership — the two describe overlapping populations and must not be added together.
