Short-Term Government Securities Fund Bond Funds OVERVIEW PERFORMANCE & PRICES COMPOSITION DISTRIBUTIONS DOCUMENTS Investment Objective and Strategy Is This Fund a Good Choice for Me? The Short-Term Government Securities Fund may be appropriate if you’re seeking a little more interest income from your savings than you’d earn in a traditional savings account. You’re also comfortable with potential fluctuations in your account based on the performance of the underlying bonds. Investment Objective and Strategy The fund seeks a high level of current income from investments in securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These investments include: U.S. Treasuries, securities issued by U.S. government agencies, and other securities whose principal and interest payments are guaranteed by the U.S. government. The average maturity of the portfolio, under normal circumstances, is expected to be three years or less.
