About VCIFX

VALIC Company I International Government Bond Fund is an open-end mutual fund that focuses on providing high current income by investing predominantly in investment-grade, government, and government-sponsored debt securities from issuers around the globe. At least 80% of its net assets are allocated to bonds that are government-issued, sponsored, or guaranteed, with a minimum of 65% in investment-grade instruments. The fund may also allocate up to 35% of its portfolio to below-investment-grade securities (commonly known as "junk bonds"), and it has the flexibility to use derivatives and hedge currency exposure as part of its strategy. This diversification allows the fund to manage risks associated with currency exchange and evolving interest rate environments across international markets. With a sizable portfolio comprised of sovereign and quasi-sovereign issuers, the fund plays a relevant role in delivering potential income with a global perspective, while offering investors access to geographic and economic diversification not found in portfolios limited to domestic bonds.
