About GDUSX
Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund Class R6 is a mutual fund that seeks a high level of current income, consistent with relatively low volatility of principal, exempt from regular federal income tax. It primarily invests in investment-grade municipal securities with shorter durations, typically focusing on maturities in the one- to three-year range as tracked by its benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond 1-3 Year Blend Index. The fund maintains a portfolio emphasizing high-quality credits across sectors such as industrial power and healthcare, while limiting exposure to private activity bonds and taxable investments to no more than 20% of net assets to minimize alternative minimum tax considerations. Managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, it employs dedicated credit analysis, yield curve strategies, and risk management to pursue stability and income generation in the short-term municipal bond market. This Class R6 share class targets retirement plans and institutional investors, offering daily liquidity within a U.S. 1940 Act structure. The fund plays a key role in providing tax-efficient, low-volatility fixed income options for income-focused portfolios in the municipal short-duration segment.
