Summary
The investment seeks to maximize total return in a manner consistent with the generation of current income, preservation of capital, and reduced price volatility. The fund normally intends to invest primarily all, but must invest at least 80%, of its assets in fixed income securities. It seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of one to five years under normal market conditions, and is expected to be somewhat less volatile than the Tributary Income fund. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in fixed income securities rated below investment grade, but no lower than a B rating by an NRSRO at the time of purchase.
