Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to the Bloomberg US Mortgage Backed Securities Index (the “Index”) to show how the Fund’s performance compares to the returns of similar investments for the reporting period. See the Average Annual Total Returns table below for the returns of the Fund and related indexes, including the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which represents the overall U.S. fixed-income market. The Fund seeks current income by investing primarily in fixed-income securities issued by or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities.

Top Contributors to Performance

Duration was a positive contributor to relative performance as the Fund had a longer-than-neutral duration as interest rates fell.
Sector allocation was a positive contributor to relative performance as the Fund employed a strategy of using mortgage dollar roll transactions in combination with collateralized mortgage floating rate securities to gain additional exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market, which performed well.
U.S. Treasury futures contracts, a type of derivative instrument, were a positive contributor to relative Fund performance.

Top Detractors from Performance

Security selection was a negative contributor to relative Fund performance as the specific mortgage securities the Fund owned underperformed the Index securities.
Yield curve exposure was a small detractor to relative Fund performance.

Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text]

Keep in mind that the Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.
