About GSTGX

Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government Fund Institutional Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on high‑quality, short‑maturity U.S. government and agency securities. The fund’s primary objective is capital preservation and current income by investing predominantly in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, federal agencies, and related entities, as well as repurchase agreements backed by such collateral. With a portfolio concentrated in AAA-rated exposure and an effective duration typically under three years, it targets limited interest-rate sensitivity and minimal credit risk relative to broader bond markets. The strategy spans Treasury notes, agency debt, and mortgage‑related securities, using derivatives such as Treasury futures to fine‑tune duration and liquidity. Positioned within the short government category, the fund serves as a defensive core fixed income allocation for institutions seeking stability, liquidity, and consistent income streams. Its long history and institutional share class structure reflect a focus on scale, operational efficiency, and disciplined risk management designed to navigate shifting rate environments while maintaining high credit quality.
