MassMutual Inflation-Protected and Income Fund – Class R5 is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with income and protection against inflationary risks. Its primary function is to generate returns that outpace inflation, primarily through investments in inflation-protected fixed income securities. The fund’s core holdings include U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and a broad array of government, corporate, and securitized debt instruments, as well as some exposure to cash equivalents. It may also allocate a portion of assets to securities not denominated in U.S. dollars, up to a set limit. The fund features a portfolio with high credit quality and moderate interest rate sensitivity, as reflected in its effective duration and yield characteristics. Serving mainly retirement-focused investors, this share class targets those seeking income with reduced inflation risk. With multi-manager oversight and over 170 holdings, the fund plays a role as a defensive component within diversified fixed income strategies, aiming to preserve purchasing power through shifting economic cycles and inflationary environments.
