About PRTIX
T. Rowe Price U.S. Treasury Intermediate Index Fund is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with a high level of income while emphasizing maximum credit protection and moderate principal fluctuation. The fund seeks to closely track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. 4-10 Year Treasury Bond Index, which comprises U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, nominal debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, with maturities ranging between four and ten years. At least 80% of its net assets are invested in U.S. Treasury securities, considered among the safest fixed income instruments due to the backing of the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The portfolio maintains an intermediate duration, typically between 3.5 and 6 years, and targets moderate sensitivity to interest rate changes. It is commonly categorized within the Intermediate Government fund sector, offering investors a defensive asset allocation option, especially when minimizing credit risk is a priority. As of mid-2025, the fund holds dozens of individual Treasury notes, maintains a modest expense ratio, distributes monthly income, and suits those seeking stability and predictable income streams within their fixed income portfolio.
