The fund seeks to provide, consistent with prudent portfolio management, the highest level of income exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes by investing primarily in investment-grade Maryland municipal bonds.
The fund invests primarily in investment-grade Maryland municipal bonds whose interest is exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes, seeking to maximize tax-exempt income. The fund is nondiversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than is permissible for a diversified fund. Up to 10% of assets may be held in below-investment-grade securities, and the fund may invest significantly in sectors with special risks such as health care, transportation, and utilities, as well as private activity bonds. Because the fund is nondiversified, concentration in a single issuer or sector could amplify losses if that issuer or sector declines.

How it has done
MDXBX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 4.19%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
The 2 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.49% | +7.74% | +13.47% | +5.96% | -6.06% | |
| 0.41% | +7.94% | +13.82% | +6.43% | -6.03% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.47pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.09pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Turnover is how much of the portfolio was replaced in a year.

Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-05-31
Share of the fund's debt by how its coupon behaves — the fact that decides whether a rate move reaches this portfolio at all.
| Fixed rate | 97.2% |
| Floating rate | 2.0% |
| Zero-coupon or unclassified | 0.8% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 0.8% |
| 1-3y | 3.0% |
| 3-5y | 2.2% |
| 5-10y | 7.2% |
| 10y+ | 86.7% |
These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.
Risk profile
Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2
Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying nearly as much.
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.
| Interest rates | 51% |
| Credit spreads | 49% |
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 the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| Investment grade | +6.66 yr |
| High yield | +0.39 yr |
Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.
| 3 mo | 0.17 yr | 2% |
| 1 yr | 0.28 yr | 4% |
| 5 yr | 1.65 yr | 23% |
| 10 yr | 3.55 yr | 49% |
| 30 yr | 1.60 yr | 22% |
| 3 mo | 0.13 yr | 2% |
| 1 yr | 0.28 yr | 4% |
| 5 yr | 1.62 yr | 23% |
| 10 yr | 3.47 yr | 49% |
| 30 yr | 1.55 yr | 22% |
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.
