Investment Strategy
| The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade municipal bonds and is designed to provide as high a level of current interest income exempt from regular federal, state, and in some cases, local income taxes as is consistent with preservation of capital.* |
|
Who should invest
Investors Seeking to:
| - Earn regular monthly dividends
- Keep more of what they earn
- Preserve investment capital over time
|
|
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. |
