On the Effective Date, the Fund’s 80% Policy will be revised to reflect that the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in fixed income securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises, including Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities.
