Fund info

Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government Fund Class R6 is an open-end mutual fund focused on high-quality, short-maturity U.S. government securities. The fund’s primary objective is to provide current income with limited interest rate sensitivity by investing at least 80% of assets in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, as well as repurchase agreements backed by such collateral. It maintains a U.S. dollar–denominated portfolio and tracks short duration exposures aligned with the front end of the Treasury curve, emphasizing liquidity and capital preservation. Positioned within the Short Government category, it aggregates a broad mix of Treasury and agency holdings to manage duration while delivering a predictable income stream distributed monthly. The share class is designed for institutional platforms, offering a streamlined fee structure relative to retail classes and access to Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s fixed income capabilities. In the broader market, the fund serves as a cash-plus or defensive allocation tool, helping investors navigate rate cycles and reinvestment needs without taking on corporate credit risk typically found in broader short-term bond funds.
