Seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 share price
Is diversified, which limits its exposure to any given issuer
Fund Objective:
Maximum current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity
Investment Strategy:
The Fund invests only in high-quality money market instruments such as banker's acceptances, certificates of deposit (CDs) issued by major banks, U.S. government securities and short-term obligations from highly rated companies.
Risks:
The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. You should not rely on or expect the Fund’s investment adviser, subadviser or their affiliates to enter into support agreements or take other actions to maintain the Fund’s $1.00 share price.
The credit quality of the Fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s share price. The Fund’s share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets.
The actions of a few large investors in one class of shares of the Fund may have a significant adverse effect on the share prices of all classes of shares of the Fund. Further regulation could impact the way that the Fund is managed, possibly negatively impacting its return.
Changes in interest rates may cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decrease. Generally, the value of money market securities rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when interest rates rise. A period of low interest rates may cause the Fund to have a low or negative yield, potentially reducing the value of your investment.
