About MIPZX

MassMutual Inflation-Protected and Income Fund Class I is a mutual fund designed to preserve purchasing power and provide income by investing predominantly in inflation-indexed bonds. Its primary focus is on securities whose principal or interest payments adjust with inflation, helping investors mitigate the impact of rising prices over time. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to inflation-protected instruments—predominantly those issued by the U.S. Treasury, but may also include other government or corporate issuers, as well as additional income-generating debt securities. Targeting investors who seek capital preservation and steady income, especially during inflationary periods, the fund’s portfolio reflects a blend of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), securitized debt, and select asset-backed or mortgage-backed securities. Managed by a team of professionals, it aims to balance credit quality and interest rate sensitivity, with an effective duration around mid-range for inflation-protected portfolios. The fund is recognized in the market for its role as a defensive asset within diversified fixed-income allocations, providing a hedge against inflation while pursuing moderate income yields.
