At a glance:
It is made up of U.S Government Securities, primarily long-term treasury bonds
and GNMAs.
The bonds in the Fund are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government, meaning that the Government insures the bonds against default, but not the Fund itself.
Long-term bond funds typically pay higher dividends than short-term bond funds and money markets. However, the share price is usually more volatile. In other words, an investor earns a higher yield for accepting higher risk.
Investment goal:
This Fund seeks to maximize current income by investing in long-term U.S. Government
Securities.

in nature.
