| The Payden GNMA Fund invests at
least 80% of its assets in mortgage-backed securities
that are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the
US Government. The fund invests in a range of mortgage-backed
security pools with coupons between 4.50% and 9.00%.
The balance of the fund’s assets is invested in
other obligations guaranteed by the US Government or
its agencies. The fund strives to maintain an intermediate
maturity of between three and seven years. |
|
|
| GNMA bond- Appropriate
for investors that seek safety of principal, higher yields
and diversification through debt issued by the Government
National Mortgage Association. |
|
|
*The Adviser has contractually
agreed that, for so long as it is the investment adviser
to the Fund, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding
interest and taxes) will not exceed 0.50%. |
|
|
|
| The Payden GNMA Fund offers an attractive
yield with an intermediate average life. All holdings
in the Fund are issued by the US government or its agencies.
While share values will fluctuate as interest rates move
up and down, there is no corporate credit risk associated
with the portfolio’s holdings. |

|
| The GNMA market, like the mortgage
market in general, has been through one of the most turbulent
periods ever over the past few months. Agency mortgage
yields approached their highest yields ever relative
to Treasuries as investment banks and large hedge funds
all sought to sell securities in order to raise capital
and diminish their risk exposure. GNMA securities did
quite well over this period as the explicit guarantee
and flight to quality supported the GNMA market. Current
coupon yields on GNMA 30-year securities are just over
5.0% |
