other securities whose principal and interest payments are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
In addition, the dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of the Fund, under normal circumstances, is expected to be three years or less.
The Fund may also invest in other types of securities, including municipal bonds, mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial paper, asset-backed securities, corporate bonds and money market securities.
