This fund is designed to give investors exposure to high- and medium-quality, investment-grade bonds with short-term maturities. The fund invests in corporate bonds, pooled consumer loans, and U.S. government bonds. Although short-term bond funds tended to have a higher yield than money market funds, the tradeoff has been that the share price fluctuates. Additionally, increases in interest rates can cause the prices of the bonds in the portfolio, and thus the fund’s share price, to decrease. Investors with a short-term savings goal who are willing to accept some price movement may wish to consider this fund.
