About ECGOX

The fund invests primarily in securities issued, backed, or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, including agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries. It may also hold other fixed income instruments to enhance diversification within the portfolio. Targeting the intermediate government bond category, the fund generally maintains a portfolio duration between 3.5 and 6 years, balancing interest rate sensitivity and income potential.
