About TSDLX

T. Rowe Price Short Duration Income Fund Investor Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on short‑duration fixed income. Its primary objective is to provide income while aiming to limit principal volatility and maintain liquidity. The fund invests broadly across investment‑grade corporate bonds and securitized instruments—such as commercial and residential mortgage‑backed securities and asset‑backed securities, including collateralized loan obligations—while also incorporating selective “plus” sectors like below‑investment‑grade bonds, leveraged loans, and international and emerging markets debt for diversification and incremental income. The portfolio typically targets an effective duration of three years or less, aligning interest rate sensitivity with the short‑term bond universe. It may use derivatives, including interest rate futures and credit default swaptions, to manage duration and credit exposures. The strategy serves as a core short‑term allocation for investors seeking multi‑sector bond exposure with disciplined risk management, complementing cash and ultrashort strategies by balancing yield potential with controlled interest rate and credit risk.
