About
Under typical operating conditions, the fund allocates a minimum of 80% of its total investment capital (encompassing any assets acquired through borrowing) to fixed-income instruments and other debt obligations. Generally, at least 65% of these assets are concentrated in high-quality debt securities. This includes obligations issued by the U.S. government, its various agencies, and instrumentalities, corporate bonds, and securitized products such as mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. Upon acquisition, these particular holdings must carry one of the three highest credit ratings or, if unrated, be deemed by the fund to be of equivalent investment quality.
