| Objective/Focus: |
Normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises and derivatives designed to replicate such securities.

| Asset Class: |
Bond |
| Style: |
High Credit Quality, Extensive Interest Rate Sensitivity |
| Return of principal is not guaranteed. Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the Fund. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall. With a fixed income fund, when interest rates rise, the value of the fund's existing bonds drops, which could negatively affect overall fund performance. |
