Investment Strategy

The Fortis Government Money Market Fund invests 100% of its assets in U.S. government money market instruments (and repurchase agreements involving these instruments), such as U.S. Treasury obligations and U.S. government agency securities. The dollar-weighted average maturity of the securities in the Fund is 90 days or less. The portfolio manager:

  • Structures the Fund's portfolio based on interest rates, market conditions and liquidity needs
  • Monitors the Fund's investments and may adjust the Fund's average maturity in anticipation of changes in short-term interest rates
  • Selects securities that:
    • Are denominated in U.S. dollars
    • Have high credit quality and minimal credit risk
    • Mature or reset in 397 days or less


Objective

The Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.

Main Risks

An investment in the Fortis Government Money Market is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund's yield will change as a result of movements in short-term interest rates and market conditions.
