Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3

The Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund (the Fund) seeks a high level of current income, consistent with relatively low volatility of principal, that is exempt from regular federal income tax.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of assets in municipal securities rated BBB/Baa or higher, with interest exempt from federal income tax, and targets a duration near the Bloomberg Municipal Bond 1-3 Year Blend Index plus or minus 0.5 years. The manager employs both top-down macro analysis and bottom-up security selection, incorporating credit quality, structure, pricing, and ESG factors alongside duration management and tax loss harvesting. Because individual security selections drive performance relative to the benchmark, results will diverge from the index based on the manager's picks.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 3.60pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.72pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Cumulative return· Jul 2023 – Apr 2026

May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

Interest-rate duration
2.19 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
2.28 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

of value
Credit spreads51%
Interest rates49%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Where the risk sits on the curve

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. This filer signs its rate and credit disclosures differently; the direction shown follows its interest-rate filing, and a negative reading is the least-supported figure here.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
