Investments in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. These are considered low-risk and are used to provide a stable income foundation for the portfolio.
These include securities backed by mortgages or other assets. They offer higher yields than government bonds, reflecting a higher risk level. The inclusion of commercial mortgage-backed securities expands the fund's exposure to real estate markets.
Debt securities issued by corporations to fund operations, expansions, or other projects. Depending on the issuer's creditworthiness, corporate bonds can offer a range of yields and risk levels, contributing to the fund's income and growth potential.
Debt securities issued by foreign governments or corporations. They add geographic diversity to the portfolio, which can help manage risk and tap into income opportunities in global markets. Foreign bonds also offer potential currency gains in addition to interest income.
U.S. Treasury securities that are indexed to inflation to protect investors from the negative effects of rising prices. TIPS contribute to the fund's goal of preserving capital in real terms while providing a reliable source of income.
