About FAUZX
Franklin Low Duration U.S. Government Securities Fund Advisor Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income while emphasizing preservation of capital. The fund primarily invests in U.S. government and government agency securities, maintaining an overall short interest-rate profile to limit price sensitivity to rate changes. Its strategy centers on low-duration exposures and a substantial allocation to adjustable‑rate or floating‑rate instruments, which can help moderate volatility as yields reset with prevailing market rates. The portfolio targets high-quality, government-backed credit, positioning it as a conservative core fixed income holding for investors prioritizing liquidity, stability, and income over long-term capital appreciation. With a long track record and institutional management under a global fixed income platform, the fund is designed to navigate varying rate environments, aiming to deliver consistent income with reduced interest-rate risk relative to intermediate and long-duration bond strategies.
