About TBSIX
T. Rowe Price Short-Term Bond Fund I Class is an institutional share class mutual fund focused on high-quality, short-duration fixed income.

The portfolio typically keeps its average effective maturity at three years or less and an effective duration around two years, helping limit interest rate sensitivity relative to longer-maturity strategies. The fund tracks its results against the Bloomberg 1–3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Index and normally invests at least 80% of net assets in bonds. It features an expense ratio of approximately 0.34% for the I Class and is positioned within the short-term bond category, emphasizing disciplined risk management and broad sector exposure across Treasuries, agencies, corporates, and securitized credit. With hundreds of issuers and active management, it serves as a core short-duration allocation for institutions seeking income stability and diversification within fixed income markets.
