Fund at a Glance

This Fund seeks to maximize current income and moderate volatility by investing in short and intermediate-term U.S. Government Securities.

  • The Fund is designed as a cash management account that will generally pay higher dividends than a money market fund, but will have some fluctuation in the share price.
  • The bonds in the Fund are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. This means that the Government insures the bonds against default, but not the Fund itself.
  • Short-term bond funds typically pay a lower dividend than long-term bond funds. However, the share price is usually less volatile. In other words, you earn a lower dividend by avoiding more risk.

If you want dividend income and are comfortable with some share price fluctuation, you may want to consider this Fund. This Fund is referred to as an “income fund” meaning that it pays dividend income and is not managed for growth. Your investment time-frame may be short or long-term in nature.
