The fund invests at least 65% of its net assets in (i) obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, (ii) debt obligations rated at the time of purchase in one of the three highest principal long term rating categories of S&P Global Ratings or Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or the equivalent three highest short term ratings of those ratings agencies, or, if no credit rating is available, judged to be of comparable quality.
