- What does FTRGX invest in?
- The fund's core objective is to construct a portfolio predominantly featuring U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, complemented by related derivative instruments. Its strategy for buying and selling these holdings is primarily guided by its market outlook and an in-depth analysis of how various securities are expected to behave across different economic landscapes. A fundamental requirement for the fund is that a minimum of 80% of its total investable capital (encompassing both net assets and any leveraged funds) must be channeled into U.S. government-backed investments.
