Description

Fund Objective
The fund's investment objective is to provide current income and preservation of capital.
Distinguishing Characteristics
With a focus on high-quality mortgage-backed securities that are either guaranteed or sponsored by the U.S. government, this fund may provide a higher level of income than U.S. Treasuries as well as diversification during equity market downturns. This fund seeks to add value by actively managing sector allocation, security selection, duration and yield curve.
Types of Investments
Primarily mortgage-related securities guaranteed by the U.S. government, mortgage-related securities issued by government-sponsored entities but not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and non-government mortgage-related securities rated AAA/Aaa or unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the fund’s investment adviser. Up to 5% of assets may be invested in securities (excluding securities that are sponsored or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities) rated AA/Aa or A, or unrated but of equivalent quality.
Holdings Outside the U.S.
Up to 10% of assets may be invested in high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated mortgage-related securities from issuers outside the U.S.
Maturity
Not required to maintain any particular maturity.
Portfolio Restrictions
Normally, at least 80% of the fund’s assets will be invested in mortgage-related securities.
