Stable Value Fund
What is a Stable Value fund?
A stable value fund generally invests in investment contracts, certain types of fixed income securities
(e.g., U.S. treasury bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, bond funds), and money market
investments. While the stable value fund tries to maintain a stable $1 unit price, the fund cannot
guarantee that this unit price will be maintained and its yield may fluctuate. The goal of the stable
value fund is to preserve the participant's principal investment while earning interest income.
