About CFSTX
Commerce Short-Term Government Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating current income while emphasizing preservation of principal. The fund primarily invests in U.S. government securities and government mortgage‑backed securities, positioning its portfolio in the short end of the yield curve to moderate interest‑rate sensitivity. Managed by a dedicated fixed income team, it pursues a conservative profile with a low-to-moderate risk posture typical of short-duration government strategies. The fund typically maintains substantial exposure to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and federal agencies, complemented by agency mortgage-backed pass-throughs that can enhance income while keeping credit risk constrained. With an inception dating back to 1994, it serves investors seeking a core defensive bond allocation for liquidity management, cash segmentation, or ballast within diversified portfolios. Key portfolio characteristics such as effective duration and sector mix are managed to align with its income-and-stability objective, with holdings that may include Treasury notes, bills, and high-quality government money market instruments. The fund’s role in the market centers on delivering steady income and capital stability across changing rate environments through high-quality government exposure.
