Investment Goals
The Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value (NAV) of $1.00 per share. The Fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in a portfolio of securities maturing in 397 days or less and will have a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and other obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations.
Principal Risks of Investing
Although the Fund invests in money market instruments which the Adviser believes present minimal credit risks at the time of purchase, there is a risk that an issuer may not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. The Fund is also subject to risks related to changes in prevailing interest rates, since generally a fixed-income security will increase in value when interest rates fall and decrease in value when interest rates rise.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at a NAV of $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. |
