About MSHAX
MassMutual Short Duration Bond Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on investment‑grade fixed income with a short duration profile. Its primary objective is to deliver a high total return sourced largely from current income while seeking to limit interest rate sensitivity typical of longer‑maturity bonds. According to fund disclosures, it invests at least 80% of net assets in investment‑grade securities, including U.S. Treasuries, corporates, asset‑backed and mortgage‑related instruments, and related derivatives used for duration and risk management. The strategy sits in the short‑term bond category, where portfolios generally target effective durations of roughly one to three and a half years to temper price volatility relative to core bond funds. The fund’s diversified portfolio spans hundreds of holdings and employs Treasury futures alongside corporate and securitized allocations to balance liquidity, income, and capital stability. With a long operating history since 1998 and monthly income distributions, it serves investors seeking conservative fixed‑income exposure for cash flow and ballast within multi‑asset portfolios.
Performance
MSHAX had a total return of 5.55% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 4.31%.
