RMK Select Short Term Bond Fund Overview
Objective and Strategy
Regions Morgan Keegan Select Short Term Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade bonds rated, at the time of purchase, BBB- or higher (or a comparable rating) by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined by the Fund's investment adviser to be of comparable quality. The types of securities that the Fund may purchase include bonds of U.S. corporate and governmental issuers, U.S. dollar-denominated bonds of foreign issuers, mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, and preferred stock. The Fund may also invest in collateralized mortgage obligations, repurchase agreements, adjustable rate securities and payable in-kind bonds. The average effective maturity of the Fund's portfolio will generally be three years or less.
INVESTMENT RISKS: Investorsin any bond fund shyould anticipate fluctuations in price. Bond prices and the value of bond funds decline as interest rates rise. Bonds with longer-term maturities generally are more vulnerable to interest rate risk than bonds with shorter-term maturities.
