Fund Overview
Philosophy and Process
The Fund seeks current income consistent with the preservation of capital.
The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, in U.S. Government Securities, some of which may be subject to repurchase agreements, or in "high grade" (rated at the time of purchase in one of the three highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or are determined by the portfolio manager to be of comparable quality) mortgage-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations.
Investment Considerations
The Fund is subject to the same risks as the underlying bonds in the portfolio such as credit, prepayment, call and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise the value of bond prices will decline and an investor may lose money. The Fund may invest in mortgage backed securities which tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The Fund invests in U.S. Government securities or its agencies (such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac securities). Although U.S. Government Securities issued directly by the U.S. Government are guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government Securities issued by an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government may not be. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit www.sterlingcapitalfunds.com/funds/performance-summary/.
The performance of the Intermediate U.S. Government Fund reflects the deduction of fees for value-added services associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The inception date for Class A Shares is 10/9/92. The inception date for Class C Shares is 2/1/01. The inception date for Institutional Shares is 2/1/13. The performance of Class C Shares is based on the historical performance of Class A Shares, adjusted to reflect the 1% contingent deferred sales charge. Performance does not reflect Class C Share 12b-1 fees or expenses. Performance of Institutional Shares prior to inception is based on the performance of Class S Shares of the Fund which were re-designated as Institutional Shares as of February 1, 2013. With those adjustments, performance would be lower. The performance shown reflects the reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions.
