About TSIDX

T. Rowe Price Short Duration Income Fund I Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on short‑term fixed income securities. Its primary objective is to provide income while maintaining limited fluctuation in principal value and preserving liquidity. The strategy employs a multi‑sector approach, investing at least 80% of assets in bonds with an effective duration generally three years or less, targeting investment‑grade corporates and securitized credit such as asset‑backed, commercial and residential mortgage‑backed securities, alongside selective exposure to “plus” sectors like high yield, leveraged loans, and international and emerging market debt for diversification. The fund may also use derivatives to manage interest rate and credit risks and to fine‑tune duration positioning. Positioned within the short‑term bond category, it seeks to balance income generation with lower interest rate sensitivity relative to intermediate‑duration peers, aiming to serve as a core short‑duration holding for cash management, liquidity needs, or ballast within a broader fixed income allocation. The fund benefits from T. Rowe Price’s credit research platform and risk controls designed to navigate varying market conditions and stages of the credit cycle.
