Additionally, it retains the option to invest in other debt instruments, such as those from federal agencies that are either backed, guaranteed, or owned by the federal government. A principal risk factor for this portfolio is its sensitivity to changes in interest rates; upward or downward shifts can result in lower bond valuations or a eventual decrease in the fund's income.
