Thornburg Limited Term Income Fund (THIFX)
The investment seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with safety of capital; to reduce changes in its share prices compared to longer term portfolios is the secondary goal. The fund invests at least 65% of its net assets in (i) obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, (ii) debt obligations rated at the time of purchase in one of the three highest principal long term rating categories of S&P Global Ratings or Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or the equivalent three highest short term ratings of those ratings agencies, or, if no credit rating is available, judged to be of comparable quality.
