Short-Term Treasury Portfolio

  • OVERVIEW

    Objective
    Short-Term Treasury Portfolio seeks to earn high current income, consistent with safety and liquidity of principal.

    Strategy
    Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its assets in direct debt obligations of the United States Treasury, including U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and other securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. The remainder of the Portfolio’s assets may be invested in U.S. government agency securities, which include debt obligations issued and/or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or its agencies, sponsored enterprises or instrumentalities.

    Reasons to Consider

    • 1

      Minimal Volatility - Invests primarily in U.S. Treasury securities with a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity and duration of zero to three years, and whose repayment is guaranteed by the full-faith-and-credit of the United States government.

    • 2

      Liquidity - Allows you access to your investment for any reason and in any amount. For complete liquidity, without any interest penalties for early withdrawal, you can use your Short-Term Treasury Portfolio account to replenish your bank checking account any time you wish or as needed.

  • PERFORMANCE

    Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investment performance, current to the most recent month-end, may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. It can be obtained by calling (800) 531-5142. All results are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible.

Short-Term Treasury Portfolio's investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. The risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other government agency, does not guarantee an investment in the Short-Term Treasury Portfolio. Therefore, you may lose money by investing in the Portfolio.
