Industry description
The investment seeks safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes.
The portfolio managers primarily buy investment-grade debt securities and, under normal market conditions, will invest at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in debt securities that have interest payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. Cities, counties and other municipalities in California and U.S. territories, such as Puerto Rico, issue these securities. The fund’s weighted average maturity will be not less than three years nor more than ten years. However, there is no maturity limit on individual securities.
