f you’re looking for a
maximum level of current income that is consistent with the
present interest-rate environment, then the Weiss Treasury Only
Money Market Fund may be the right investment for you. Because
it maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days
or fewer, the current income generated by the Fund will change
as short-term interest rates change. This means that, if short-term
interest rates go up, the current income earned and distributed
by the Fund will go up as well. And, if short-term rates go
down, in time, the Fund’s current income will decline.
The Weiss Treasury Only Money Market Fund invests primarily
in short-term US Treasury obligations and as a result provides
protection and liquidity to the risk-averse investor. So if
you’re concerned about stock market volatility, are looking
for a temporary parking place for your money between investments,
or even a place for your every-day cash needs, consider the Weiss Treasury Only Money Market Fund.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Weiss Treasury Only Money Market Fund pursues its objective
of current income consistent with preservation of capital by
investing primarily in US Treasury securities.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio manager
analyzes many factors including the strength (or weakness) of
the US economy, the outlook for interest rates and the shape
of the treasury yield curve. After assessing this information,
the manager makes investment decisions and selects US Treasury
obligations, repurchase agreements secured by such obligations,
as well as shares of other mutual funds that invest primarily
in US Treasury securities.
US Treasury Securities: These direct
obligations of the US Treasury differ from one another only
in their interest rates, maturities and dates of issuance. For
example, treasury bills have initial maturities of one year
or less; treasury notes have initial maturities of one-to-ten
years; and treasury bonds generally have initial maturities
greater than ten years. The payment of principal and interest
from US Treasury securities is unconditionally guaranteed by
the US Government, and therefore these securities are of the
highest possible credit quality.
Repurchase Agreements: As a means
of earning income for periods as short as overnight, the Fund
may enter into repurchase agreements secured by US Treasury
securities that mature within seven days or less, with selected
banks and broker-dealers. When the Fund enters into a repurchase
agreement, it buys securities for a specified price and agrees
to resell these securities to the seller at a higher price at
some future date, typically one-to-seven days from the time
of the purchase.
Other Mutual Funds: The Fund may
also invest in the shares of other mutual funds that invest
in US Treasury securities, subject to applicable securities
regulations.
