Investment Strategy
| The Fund is designed to provide as high a level of current income exempt from regular federal income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.* The Fund's investment adviser looks for higher yielding and undervalued long-term insured municipal bonds that offer potentially above-average total return. |

A Word On Risk
| Investing in municipal bonds involves interest rate risk, the risk that interest rates will rise, causing bond prices to fall; and credit risk, the risk that an issuer of a municipal bond will be unable to make interest and principal payments. As with any mutual fund, loss of principal is a risk of investing. |
