C000015297 Investment Objective and Strategy

Wilmington Short-Term Bond Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Wilmington Funds.

Investment objective

The Fund seeks to provide current income.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing primarily in U.S. investment grade corporate and government fixed income securities, including mortgage and asset backed securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in fixed income securities. The Fund’s investment advisor will select investment grade fixed income securities and unrated securities determined to be of comparable quality, but also may invest up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets in lower-rated debt securities (“junk bonds”). The Fund normally invests in securities with short maturities, and the Fund seeks to maintain a weighted average maturity of three years or less. However, the Fund has no maturity restrictions on individual issues, and the weighted average maturity of the Fund’s portfolio will vary within a range of zero to three years depending on market conditions.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the investment advisor considers a security’s credit quality, capital appreciation potential, maturity and yield to maturity. The investment advisor will monitor changing economic conditions and trends, including interest rates, and may sell securities in anticipation of an increase in interest rates or purchase securities in anticipation of a decline in interest rates.
