Description

The fund's primary objective is to generate substantial current income that is largely exempt from federal income taxes, all while striving to preserve capital. To achieve this, it commits a minimum of 80% of its net assets to high-quality (investment-grade) municipal bonds, which offer interest income free from standard federal taxation. The portfolio manager has the flexibility to allocate up to 20% of assets into municipal securities rated below investment-grade. Separately, up to 20% of the portfolio may also be invested in securities generating income that is subject to federal income tax. Furthermore, the fund is permitted to invest up to 20% of its net assets in other collective investment vehicles, such as closed-end funds (CEFs) and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
