About FUSRX
Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund Class R is a fixed income mutual fund that primarily invests in debt securities backed by the U.S. government or government-related agencies. The fund seeks to provide investors with current income by focusing on intermediate-term government bonds, most notably Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae) passthrough mortgage-backed securities. By emphasizing securities with U.S. government backing, the portfolio minimizes credit risk, as these obligations are widely considered to have very high credit quality due to the low likelihood of government default. The fund maintains a typical portfolio duration between 3.5 and 6 years, resulting in a volatility profile that is moderate when compared to short- or long-term government bond funds. Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund Class R serves as a core holding for investors seeking stable income with a strong credit profile, and plays a significant role in providing diversification and relative stability within a broader fixed income allocation in the market.
