Choosing a Fund
Use our Risk/Reward spectrum to navigate your way to the mutual fund that is right for you.
If you're a conservative, income-oriented investor who wants higher current income than that generally offered by the U.S. Government Fund and you're willing to assume moderately more risk in exchange, you may find this Fund suitable. This Fund can also be an appropriate choice for investors who want to broaden and diversify their fixed income portfolio. Our experienced investment team's approach is to monitor and control the portfolio risk relative to the overall market while maintaining an average maturity within the portfolio between seven and 12 years.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here.
Performance calculations reflect voluntary fee waivers in effect. In the absence of fee waivers, total return, growth since inception and dividends would have been reduced. The 30-Day SEC yield would have been 2.83% as of December 31, 2009. Total return is based on net change in NAV assuming reinvestment of distributions.
