Premium Bond seeks a high level of income by investing primarily in non-money market debt securities.
The fund managers invest primarily in high- and medium-grade, non-money market debt securities. These securities, which may be payable in U.S. or foreign currencies, may include corporate bonds and notes, government securities and securities backed by mortgages or other assets. Shorter-term debt securities round out the portfolio.
The fund managers primarily invest in quality debt securities, that is, securities rated in the four highest categories by independent rating organizations. However, the fund managers may invest up to 15% of the fund's assets in fifth-category-rated securities. The fund managers also may invest in unrated securities if the fund managers determine that they are of equivalent credit quality.
Three basic principles of fixed-income investing impact the fund's management.
In light of these principles, the fund managers pay close attention to the interest rate sensitivity and credit quality of the fund's portfolio. Weighted average maturity is one of the tools they use to gauge how much the value of the fund will change if interest rates change. The higher the weighted average maturity number, the more the value of the fund will change if interest rates change. The weighted average maturity of the fund's portfolio must be three and one-half years or longer. During periods of rising interest rates, the fund managers may adopt a shorter portfolio maturity in order to reduce the effect of bond price declines on the fund's value. When interest rates are falling and bond prices are rising, they may adopt a longer portfolio maturity.
Additional information about Premium Bond's investments is available in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.
In summary, Premium Bond is designed for investors who want a bond fund with the potential for a higher level of income than is generally provided by money market or short-term bond funds. Investors in the fund must be prepared, however, to weather the generally greater price volatility associated with the longer-term debt securities that the fund buys.
