About MSGVX

Morgan Stanley Long Duration Government Opportunities Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed with a focus on generating a high level of current income while prioritizing the safety of principal. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. government securities, including Treasury bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities, making it a key choice for those seeking broad exposure to the long-duration segment of the government bond market. This fund is managed to capitalize on opportunities within long-duration fixed income, targeting an average portfolio duration of ten years or more under normal circumstances. Its holdings are heavily weighted toward agency residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, which may offer enhanced yields relative to direct U.S. Treasuries, while still focusing on credit quality and risk management. The fund is overseen by an experienced portfolio management team and positions itself as a source of steady income for investors, particularly those with a long investment horizon or liability-matching needs. The Class C share structure allows for lower initial investment barriers, typically paired with deferred sales charges for greater accessibility.
