Industry description
The investment seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). It may also invest in U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government securities obligations, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such obligations. The fund may enter into dollar roll transactions with selected banks and broker-dealers and invest in to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities, futures contracts and forward contracts.
