About MPSAX

The MassMutual Inflation-Protected and Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on providing investors with income and protection from the eroding effects of inflation. Structured as a taxable bond fund, it primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in inflation-indexed bonds, such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), and other income-generating fixed income securities. This approach is designed to help preserve purchasing power in periods of rising consumer prices. The fund holds a diverse portfolio, with approximately 170 holdings, and manages hundreds of millions in assets. In addition to U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, the fund may allocate up to 15% of its assets to non-U.S. dollar securities, offering additional diversification. Launched in 2003 by MassMutual, its primary purpose is to offer steady income while mitigating inflation risk for long-term investors. This fund is relevant for those seeking fixed income exposure that specifically addresses inflation concerns, making it a key option within the broader taxable bond sector.
