About MSDRX

Allspring Short Duration Government Bond Fund Class R6 is an actively managed taxable fixed income mutual fund focused on high‑quality, short-maturity U.S. government securities. The fund seeks total return and current income while emphasizing capital preservation, typically maintaining an effective duration of about one to three years to limit interest-rate sensitivity. According to Allspring, it primarily invests in debt issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and government‑sponsored enterprises, and aims to outperform the Bloomberg U.S. 1–3 Year Government Bond Index through bottom‑up security selection and disciplined risk management. Portfolio exposure is concentrated in Treasuries and agency mortgage- and asset‑backed securities, providing broad access to government-backed credit with limited credit risk. The R6 share class is designed for retirement platforms and institutions, offering a lower-cost structure within the short government category. This strategy serves investors seeking a core short-duration government allocation to dampen volatility, provide liquidity, and complement broader fixed income holdings in varied rate environments.
