About GDUSX
Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund Class R6 is an open-end municipal bond mutual fund focused on generating federally tax-exempt income from a diversified portfolio of short-duration municipal securities. The fund primarily invests in investment-grade municipal bonds whose interest is exempt from regular federal income tax, aligning it with the **national short municipal** category. Its short duration profile is designed to limit sensitivity to interest rate movements relative to longer-maturity municipal bond funds, emphasizing stability of principal alongside income generation. The portfolio typically includes general obligation and revenue bonds issued by states, cities, and public authorities that finance infrastructure, transportation, education, and other public projects. Class R6 shares are structured for institutional and retirement platforms, offering a clean share class without embedded distribution or service fees, which can be relevant for fee-based plans and fiduciary platforms. In the broader market, the fund serves as a tool for investors seeking tax-efficient cash management and short-term fixed income exposure within the municipal bond segment.
