\nA conservative strategy with limited duration and zero corporate credit risk
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — \u00a0<\/strong>Payden & Rygel<\/a> is proud to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the Payden U.S. Government Fund (PYUSX),<\/a> a bond fund that invests in U.S. Treasuries, government agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities with an average portfolio maturity of less than five years.<\/p>\n

The Payden U.S. Government was launched in 1995, and provided stable, short-term fixed income exposure in the wake of one of the bond market\u2019s most tumultuous periods. Just a year before, the Fed raised rates six times, causing bond prices to tumble across all sectors and durations. But the Payden team believed in its strategy to provide steady income while avoiding the volatility of longer-maturity bond funds and the credit risk of non-government issuers. Since that time, the fund has weathered good markets and bad, offering investors an opportunity to earn income without the turbulence of the bond market\u2019s riskier sectors.<\/p>\n

Today the bond market faces another challenging period, as changing tariff policies roil inflation expectations and the threat of stagflation looms. Gary Greenberg, Director at Payden & Rygel, who oversees the U.S. Government Fund, says that the fund\u2019s focus and approach are especially compelling in this environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we believe intermediate maturity Treasuries provide attractive yields, and, on top of that, government agency mortgage-backed securities are trading at historically high spreads to Treasuries,\u201d he explains. \u201cOur overweight in agencies will aim to provide additional yield as well as capital appreciation as risk premiums contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds that because the fund has no corporate credit risk, it is also well positioned to benefit from prospective Federal Reserve Bank interest rate cuts and provide a safe harbor if a recession ensues.<\/p>\n
