Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

The funds goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of an index that measures the performance of the U.S. AMT-free municipal bond market.

Strategy · summarised

The fund tracks the ICE AMT-Free Core U.S. National Municipal Index, which comprises investment-grade, federally tax-exempt municipal bonds issued by U.S. states, territories, and their subdivisions. The fund uses sampling techniques to hold a subset of index securities expected to perform similarly to the index as a whole, based on factors including maturity, yield curve risk, credit quality, and sector weights. Because the fund does not hold all index constituents, its performance may diverge from the index.

May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

Interest-rate duration
6.59 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
6.67 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

≈ -13.5%
of value
Credit spreads50%
Interest rates50%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
