FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks as high a level of interest income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital. The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in tax-exempt bonds of any maturity. Most of these bonds are investment-grade when purchased, but the fund may also invest up to 35% of assets in junk bonds rated BB/Ba or B and their unrated equivalents. It may make limited use of certain derivatives.
