- Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund Retail Class (LIPRX) is an actively managed open-end mutual fund that seeks high total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in inflation-protected securities, including U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS); it may allocate up to 10% to lower-rated fixed income securities, as well as nominal Treasury securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, and high yield securities for diversification and enhanced yield. The fund, with total assets of approximately $99.4 million as of October 31, 2025, offers share classes including Retail Class (LIPRX, inception May 28, 2010, net expense ratio 0.65%), Institutional Class (LSGSX, inception May 20, 1991), and Class N (LIPNX, inception February 1, 2017), benchmarked against the Bloomberg US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index, with a portfolio featuring an average maturity of 7.33 years, weighted average duration of 6.74 years, and sector allocations dominated by U.S. Treasuries (83.3%), investment grade credit (13.5%), and high yield credit (1.8%) across primarily U.S.-denominated holdings. Managed by Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., a Boston-headquartered investment manager founded in 1926 with global offices in London, Singapore, and Orinda, California, the fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking inflation-hedging exposure with opportunistic fixed income strategies.
In recent developments, Loomis Sayles announced an agreement in November 2025 with FIM Partners to transition its Global Emerging Market Equities investment team, enabling a strategic shift in focus while maintaining continuity for clients; the firm continues to emphasize its core fixed income and multi-asset capabilities, including the Inflation Protected Securities Fund, amid ongoing expense waivers through January 31, 2026, to cap net expense ratios competitively.
