Combining the benefits of a money market fund with the credit quality of a portfolio of U.S. government-backed securities, this fund offers Burnham investors an additional money fund choice.
To ensure a portfolio of extremely high credit quality, the fund invests mainly in securities issued directly by the U.S. Treasury. While shares of the fund itself are not guaranteed, all securities the fund buys must carry the same "full faith and credit" guarantee of the U.S. government that Treasuries carry.
As with all money market funds that are offered in the United States, this fund is subject to the strict standards established for money funds by the federal government. These standards are designed to help money funds meet their goal of maintaining a stable $1.00 share price*.
*An investment in the fund 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.
