Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to provide shareholders with liquidity and as a high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital.

Investment Strategy

The Fund may invest in all types of high quality, short-term money market instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. These may include:

  • obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and other U.S. and foreign private issuers;
  • commercial paper and asset-backed securities;
  • obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements for these obligations; and

The Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in bank obligations, such as certificates of deposit, fixed- time deposits and bankers’ acceptances.

The Fund may invest in instruments specifically structured so that they are eligible for purchase by money market funds, including securities that have demand, tender or put features, or interest rate reset features.

Investment Risks

The Fund’s yield may be affected by changes in interest rates and changes in credit ratings. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for additional fund specific risks.
