Industry description
The investment seeks high current income exempt from federal and California personal income tax that is consistent with capital preservation.
To pursue its goal, the fund primarily invests in investment-grade municipal securities - those in the four highest credit rating categories (rated AAA to BBB- or the unrated equivalent as determined by the investment adviser) from California issuers. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities the interest from which is exempt from federal and California personal income tax and federal alternative minimum tax.
