About HOSGX

Homestead Short-Term Government Securities Fund is an open-end mutual fund focused on high-quality, short-duration U.S. government debt. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of current income by investing in securities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, including U.S. Treasuries, obligations of government agencies, and other government-guaranteed instruments. The portfolio is managed to an average maturity of three years or less, emphasizing limited interest-rate sensitivity and low credit risk relative to broader bond markets. The fund sits within the short government category and is designed to provide stability of principal with modest income, offering a potential step up from cash while maintaining conservative risk characteristics. Key portfolio metrics have recently included a duration of roughly 2.6 years, a weighted average maturity near three years, and a multi-issue lineup exceeding 100 holdings, reflecting diversified exposure across the U.S. sovereign and agency spectrum. Homestead Short-Term Government Securities Fund serves investors seeking a conservative fixed income core or ballast within multi-asset allocations, with transparent expenses and a longstanding track record since its 1995 inception.
