Overview

Overview

Why Invest in This Fund?

 

  • Actively managed diversified portfolio of high-quality municipal bonds with an average duration of no more than three years.
  • Proven bottom-up fundamental approach that incorporates a top-down macroeconomic overlay to identify what we perceive to be the most attractive opportunities on a relative value basis across geographic regions, sectors, issuers and revenue streams.
  • Income-seeking fund that aims for a stable net asset value, making it attractive for those with a short investment horizon, and is positioned to quickly take advantage of any increases in short-term interest rates.

Investment Objective

The fund’s goal is to provide investors with current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital.

Investment Approach

The fund is an actively managed diversified portfolio of municipal bonds. To reduce changes in its share value compared to longer duration fixed income portfolios, the fund normally maintains an average duration of no more than three years. The management team seeks to match municipal market structure and deal flow through a relative value framework that operates across geography, sectors, issuers and revenue streams. The strategy maintains exposure across the maturity spectrum to manage duration, hedge against interest rate fluctuations and limit taxable events.
