Designed to serve as a holding place for future investment dollars, an emergency cash reserve or a readily available source of funds, the Government Securities Fund seeks to safeguard your investment principal by concentrating on safety and liquidity first, with a strong secondary emphasis on generating a competitive yield.
We seek to maintain a stable net asset value by investing in U.S. dollar denominated short term Government Securities or repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government Securities that we believe present minimal credit risks.
Money Market funds are generally low-risk investments that seek stable returns over time, i.e., they value liquidity. We invest in top-rated investments that we believe offer minimal downside and maximum returns for you.
Our Money Market fund-building process is analytical and straightforward. Within the cash-equivalents market, our risk-management efforts focus on your need for safety, liquidity and competitive yields by investing in high-quality, short-term debt instruments.
Focused intently on risk-management and capital preservation, our Money Market managers are dedicated striving to ensure your money’s steady growth and safety.
How We Strive To Make Money Market Funds Work For You:
We seek top-rated investments in attractive sectors and prioritize liquidity.
We seek a balance of yield and maturity to strive for low-risk investments while earning attractive returns.
We seek to maximize returns while maintaining capital. If the yield and risk are not worthwhile, we will change our approach.
An investment in a money market fund 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 $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
