Fund Features

  • Assigned highest credit ratings by Standard & Poor's and Moody's.
  • Use of repurchase agreements fully collateralized by U.S. government securities.
  • Combination of government securities with repurchase agreement may offer the potential for higher yields than treasury only type funds, but presents some additional risk.*

*While treasury securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, some U.S. government securities are supported only by the credit of the issuer. Repurchase agreements are subject to the risk that the seller will default on its obligation to repurchase the securities, which could result in a loss to the fund.
