The main offering revolves around a specialized investment fund, characterized by strategic focus areas intended to serve the specific needs of investors looking for tax-exempt income, particularly within Pennsylvania. The fund's investment philosophy and structural design are tailored to navigate the complexities of municipal bond investments while leveraging opportunities for tax advantages and income. Below are the key features of the investment fund:

• Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Investments: The cornerstone of the fund's strategy is the investment in a diversified portfolio of long-term, investment-grade municipal bonds issued within the State of Pennsylvania. This focus on local municipal bonds is designed to provide investors with income that is exempt from both Federal and Pennsylvania personal income taxes, while also supporting local government financing needs.
• Investment Grade Focus: At least 80% of the fund’s assets are committed to securities that are rated as investment grade. This focus underscores the fund’s risk management philosophy, prioritizing the security and reliability of the bonds it invests in to ensure a stable income for its investors.
• Long-Term Investment Horizon: The fund maintains a weighted average maturity of over ten years for its portfolio holdings. This long-term approach aligns with the needs of investors seeking steady, tax-exempt income over an extended period, and reflects a strategic belief in the benefits of long-term bond investing amidst varying market conditions.
• Non-Diversified Status: While the fund invests primarily in Pennsylvania municipal bonds, it is classified as non-divified.
