About MSDAX
Allspring Short Duration Government Bond Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on high-quality, short-maturity U.S. government securities. The fund’s objective is total return and current income with capital preservation by investing primarily in obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, while keeping its average duration below that of the three-year U.S. Treasury benchmark. The strategy seeks to outperform the Bloomberg U.S. 1–3 Year Government Bond Index through bottom-up security selection within a liquid, high-quality universe and a disciplined risk management framework. The portfolio typically maintains at least 90% in U.S. government obligations, with limited exposure to non-government mortgage- and asset-backed securities to enhance structure and carry. Managed by an experienced team, the fund emphasizes duration discipline and interest-rate risk control, distributing income monthly. Its positioning in short government securities underscores its role as a core short-duration fixed income allocation for investors seeking high credit quality, liquidity, and reduced interest-rate sensitivity relative to intermediate bond strategies.
