OBJECTIVE

  |  The Government Money Market Fund seeks current income, while preserving capital and liquidity.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES

  |  We actively manage a portfolio of short-term U.S. Government obligations and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government obligations. These investments may have fixed, floating, or variable rates of interest.

Our security selection is based on several factors, including yield and maturity, while taking into account the Fund's overall level of liquidity and average maturity.

The U.S. Government guarantee applies to certain of the underlying securities and NOT to shares of the Fund.
