Morgan Stanley Investment Funds - Short Duration US Government Income Fund ZM

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return, which is defined as income plus capital appreciation, by investing primarily in Fixed Income Securities issued, backed or otherwise guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The dollar weighted average duration of the Fund will normally be less than 3 years, although this may be higher under certain market conditions. In general, the longer the average duration of the portfolio the greater the exposure to interest rate risk and as such the more volatile the value of the fund.
