Fund Description

The fund was incepted in December 1985 and is managed by Federated Investment Management Company. The fund's investment objective is to pursue total return. The fund's total return consists of two components, one changes in the market value of its portfolio securities (both realized and unrealized appreciation) and two income received from its portfolio securities. The fund expects that, under normal market conditions, income will comprise the largest component of its total return. The fund invests primarily in a portfolio of direct obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. The fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration that is within 20 percent of the weighted average portfolio duration of the Merrill Lynch 10 plus Year Treasury Index. This index includes U.S. Treasury securities with maturities greater than ten years. The fund offers dividends monthly and capital gains annually.
