  Investment Objective & Strategy  
The investment seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital.
The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in investment-grade debt securities (those of medium and high quality) of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities. The advisor manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund allocates assets across different market sectors and maturities.
  Morningstar Category: Intermediate Core Bond
Intermediate-term core bond portfolios invest primarily in investment-grade U.S. fixed-income issues including government, corporate, and securitized debt, and hold less than 5% in below-investment-grade exposures. Their durations (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) typically range between 75% and 125% of the three-year average of the effective duration of the Morningstar Core Bond Index. 
  Investment Risks
There are no additional fund specific investment risks (e.g. liquidity risk, currency risk, foreign investment risk, etc.) associated with this fund beyond the normal risks generally associated with investing in a mutual fund.
