About DFYGX

The DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio is an ultrashort bond mutual fund focused on providing investors with maximum total returns from a carefully selected universe of U.S. government securities. The fund primarily invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Treasury and federal agencies, with all holdings maturing in two years or less, and a weighted average maturity that does not exceed two years. This structure emphasizes capital preservation and reduced interest rate sensitivity, making the portfolio particularly suitable for institutional investors seeking stability and liquidity within a short investment horizon. Key attributes include a high-quality credit profile, as the portfolio is primarily concentrated in investment-grade government debt, such as Treasury bills, notes, and securities from federal agencies like the Federal Home Loan Banks. The fund maintains a low expense ratio relative to its peers, contributing to its cost efficiency. With a diverse allocation among U.S. government securities and stringent risk management, the DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio serves as a critical tool for institutions and individuals looking to manage short-term cash needs, limit credit risk, and minimize exposure to market volatility, while still capturing current income through a high credit quality bond portfolio.
