About PYUSX
Payden U.S. Government Fund is an open-end mutual fund focused on short-term U.S. government securities. Its primary objective is to provide income while limiting interest-rate volatility and avoiding the credit risk associated with corporate issuers. The portfolio invests exclusively in U.S. Treasuries, government agency debentures, and agency mortgage‑backed securities, maintaining an average maturity of less than five years to reduce price sensitivity to rate changes. Positioned within the short-term government bond category, the fund uses the ICE BofA 1‑5 Year U.S. Treasury Index as a benchmark and emphasizes minimal corporate credit exposure. Established in 1995, it has been managed through multiple rate cycles, reflecting a consistent approach to preserving capital and delivering steady income from high-quality government obligations. The strategy’s cost profile compares favorably to peers, supporting its role as a core conservative fixed-income holding for investors seeking government-backed cash flow over a short‑to‑intermediate horizon.
