Frequently Asked Questions About LIPRX

What does LIPRX invest in?

The fund aims to deliver a substantial total investment return, achieved through a blend of ongoing income and appreciation in asset value. It typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets—including any borrowed capital for investment—to securities designed to protect against inflation. A significant portion of these holdings will be U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). A key characteristic of TIPS is that their principal value is periodically modified to reflect inflation, and the repayment of the initial bond principal at maturity is guaranteed by the U.S. government.

What is the expense ratio of LIPRX?

Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund Retail Cl (LIPRX) charges an expense ratio of 0.65%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

What is LIPRX's dividend yield?

LIPRX's trailing-twelve-month yield is 4.80%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price.

What is the duration of LIPRX?

Effective duration measures LIPRX's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. LIPRX's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website.

What is the credit quality of LIPRX?

LIPRX's credit quality breakdown (the share of holdings rated AAA through CCC and below) is published on the fund's factsheet. Higher-quality (investment-grade) funds yield less but carry less default risk than high-yield / junk bond funds.

What is the yield to maturity of LIPRX?

Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from LIPRX if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. LIPRX's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. It differs from the trailing-12-month yield because YTM reflects current bond prices rather than historical income paid.
