About GSDSX

Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government Fund Service Shares is an open‑end mutual fund focused on high‑quality, short‑maturity U.S. government and agency securities. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of current income while seeking to preserve capital through limited interest‑rate sensitivity, typically maintaining a short effective duration profile. According to the sponsor, the portfolio is diversified across Treasury bills and notes, agency debt, and mortgage‑backed securities, emphasizing liquidity and credit quality consistent with a short government mandate. Morningstar categorizes the strategy within Short Government, reflecting at least 90% exposure to bonds backed by the U.S. government or government‑linked agencies and durations generally between one and three and a half years, which lowers interest‑rate risk relative to intermediate‑term bond funds. Share class information identifies this as the Service share class of the multi‑share‑class fund, with inception dating back to the mid‑1990s for the overall strategy and management by a team at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The fund’s role in portfolios commonly includes cash management, core bond ballast, and liquidity reserve allocation within fixed income sleeves.
