Fund Summary

The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in tax-exempt bonds (securities issued by or on behalf of state or local governments and other public authorities) at the time of purchase. It also invests in inverse floating rate obligations (variable rate debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates), which are generally more volatile than other types of municipal obligations and may involve leverage.
