About TWSGX
TransWestern Institutional Short Duration Government Bond Fund is an open-end mutual fund focused on high-quality, short-maturity U.S. government securities. Its stated objective is to provide income while emphasizing liquidity and limiting credit and interest-rate risk by investing entirely in liquid, investment‑grade fixed and variable rate obligations issued or backed by the U.S. government, along with cash and cash equivalents. The strategy sits in the short government category, typically targeting an effective duration of roughly one to three and a half years, which helps reduce sensitivity to rate moves relative to intermediate and long‑duration peers. The portfolio primarily holds Treasury notes and bills, agency securities, and government‑guaranteed mortgage‑backed bonds, reflecting a conservative credit profile anchored by explicit or implicit government backing. With an institutional share class structure and a focus on monthly income distributions, the fund serves as a cash‑adjacent core bond sleeve for investors seeking capital preservation and steady income within a defined duration band. Its performance and risk characteristics are commonly compared against the Bloomberg U.S. Government 1–3 Year Index and category peers to gauge market role and efficiency.
Performance
