FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks maximum income without undue risk to principal. Capital preservation and possible capital appreciation are secondary objectives. The fund normally invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or agencies and instrumentalities, including mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored enterprises. Some of these securities, such as those issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
