About MPSDX
MassMutual Short Duration Bond Fund Class R4 is an open‑end mutual fund focused on investment‑grade, short‑maturity fixed income. Its primary objective is to deliver a high total rate of return driven mainly by current income while aiming to limit price volatility through a shorter duration profile. The portfolio typically emphasizes high‑quality corporate bonds, government and agency securities, and securitized assets with conservative interest‑rate exposure, seeking steadier net asset values relative to longer‑duration bond strategies. By concentrating on shorter maturities, the fund targets efficient interest‑rate risk management and faster reinvestment of cash flows as market yields evolve. It serves as a core short‑term bond holding within diversified fixed‑income allocations, offering a balance between income generation and capital stability for investors managing liquidity needs, cash segmentation, or laddered bond structures. The strategy’s role in the market is to provide institutional and retirement‑plan share access to short‑duration fixed income with professional management and daily liquidity, complementing intermediate and long‑duration exposures in multi‑asset portfolios.
Performance
MPSDX had a total return of 5.78% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 2.75%.
