Fund info

Goldman Sachs Inflation Protected Securities Fund Class R is a mutual fund that primarily invests in inflation-protected debt securities, with a core focus on U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). Its primary goal is to provide a real return that keeps pace with inflation while preserving capital, making it significant for investors concerned about the erosion of purchasing power. The fund typically allocates over 80% of its assets to inflation-linked bonds, principally from the U.S. Treasury—the largest issuer in this segment—which adjust their principal in line with inflation rates. With nearly all holdings rated AAA, the fund emphasizes high credit quality and moderate interest rate sensitivity, reflecting a low risk of default. The portfolio also features an effective duration of approximately 6.9 years, positioning it as a medium-term fixed income offering. Because it targets inflation-protected bonds within the fixed income sector, it plays a distinctive role in diversifying investment portfolios and mitigating inflation risk, particularly during periods of rising consumer prices.
