What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The fund seeks to provide a high level of income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in long-term investment-grade municipal securities.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests primarily in long-term investment-grade municipal securities selected through fundamental credit research, with emphasis on specific sectors and issuers believed to offer attractive yields. The fund may hold up to 10% of assets in below-investment-grade municipal bonds and manages duration to balance sector concentration with broad market diversification. Because security selection depends on the adviser's credit outlook and issuer analysis, fund holdings will differ from the broader municipal market.

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.

7.46 yr

7.27 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.

Interest rates51%
Credit spreads49%

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.

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.
