Overview

Products and Services
- Investment-Grade Securities Investments
The fund commits a minimum of 65% of its assets into investment-grade securities. This commitment caters to investors looking for stable and reliable returns with a lower risk profile. Investment-grade securities are deemed to be of high quality by credit rating agencies, implying they have a lower risk of default compared to lower-rated securities. This investment strategy is designed to provide a solid foundation for the fund's portfolio, ensuring a level of safety for the investors' capital.
- High-Yield Securities Investments
Up to 35% of the fund's assets may be allocated to securities rated below investment grade. This portion is aimed at enhancing the fund's return potential, as high-yield (or "junk") bonds typically offer higher interest rates to compensate for their higher risk of default compared to investment-grade bonds. This strategy is suitable for investors who are willing to accept a higher level of risk for the possibility of increased returns.
- Tax-Exempt Securities Investments
The fund strategically invests so that at least 80% of its net assets are in tax-exempt securities, or to ensure that at least 80% of its annual interest income is exempt from federal regular income tax. This is particularly appealing for investors in higher tax brackets seeking to maximize their after-tax returns. Tax-exempt securities, such as municipal bonds, provide income that is not subject to federal income taxes, and in some cases, state and local taxes as well, making them an attractive investment option for tax-sensitive investors.
