  Investment Objective & Strategy  
The investment seeks to provide current income while maintaining limited price volatility.
The fund invests in a variety of high-quality and, to a lesser extent, medium-quality fixed income securities. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets will be invested in short- and intermediate-term investment-grade securities. High-quality fixed income securities are those rated the equivalent of A3 or better; medium-quality fixed income securities are those rated the equivalent of Baa1, Baa2, or Baa3. It is expected to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 1 to 4 years.
  Morningstar Category: Short-Term Bond
Short-term bond portfolios invest primarily in corporate and other investment-grade U.S. fixed-income issues and typically have durations of 1.0 to 3.5 years. These portfolios are attractive to fairly conservative investors, because they are less sensitive to interest rates than portfolios with longer durations. Morningstar calculates monthly breakpoints using the effective duration of the Morningstar Core Bond Index in determining duration assignment. Short-term is defined as 25% to 75% of the three-year average effective duration of the MCBI. 
  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.
