U.S. Government Securities Ultra-Short Bond Strategy
What are the principles that have enabled the strategy to be successful?
Ability to Exploit Inefficiencies – The valuation inefficiencies in the short duration and adjustable rate U.S. government securities market often create opportunities. Having the skill and expertise to take advantage of these inefficiencies in both rising and falling interest rate environments has allowed the strategy to offer investors a potentially higher return and yield relative to money market funds.
Emphasis on Quality – The Fund invests in short duration U.S. government-backed securities with an emphasis on adjustable rate mortgages, seeking to provide high current income consistent with preserving capital and maintaining liquidity.
Seasoned Investment Team – The Fund is team managed by three highly experienced professionals, averaging more than 20 years of investment experience. The portfolio managers have worked together since 2002.
