Products and Services
- Municipal Securities Investment
The fund dedicates at least 80% of its net assets, in addition to any borrowings for investment purposes, to municipal securities issued across the United States. By focusing on these investments, the fund seeks to provide its investors with regular income that is exempt from regular federal income tax, aligning with the goals of those looking for tax-efficient investment options.
- Federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Subject Securities Investment
Up to 20% of the fund's net assets can be invested in securities whose income is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). This component of the fund's strategy allows for a certain degree of diversification within the realm of tax-advantaged investments, providing an alternative source of income albeit with potential tax implications.
- High-Quality Municipal Securities
The fund normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in municipal securities that are rated in the three highest credit rating categories. For securities that are unrated, the Advisor plays a crucial role in determining their quality, ensuring that the fund’s investments are aligned with its conservative approach towards risk management. This strategy underscores the fund's commitment to capital preservation while pursuing tax-exempt income.
