A Word On Risk
| Investing in municipal bonds involves interest rate risk, the risk that interest rates will rise, causing bond prices to fall. Because the Fund invests in lower rated municipal bonds, commonly referred to as high yield, high risk or junk bonds, which are considered to be speculative, the credit risk is heightened for the Fund. As with any mutual fund, loss of principal is a risk of investing. |
