Fund Description

Main investments. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal securities whose income is free from regular federal and New York State personal income tax. In addition, the fund invests at least 65% of net assets in municipal securities and other securities that are exempt from New York City personal income taxes. The fund may invest up to 20% of net assets in securities whose income is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).The fund can buy many types of municipal securities of all maturities. These may include revenue bonds (which are backed by revenue from a particular source) and general obligation bonds (which are typically backed by the issuer’s ability to levy taxes). They may also include private activity and industrial development bonds, municipal lease obligations and investments representing an interest in these. The fund can also invest in obligations of US territories and Commonwealths (such as Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Guam) and their agencies and authorities, whose income is free from regular federal and New York state income tax.Normally, at least 80% of the fund’s municipal securities are rated in the four highest credit rating categories or, if unrated, determined by the Advisor to be of similar quality. Up to 20% of the fund's municipal securities may be high yield bonds (commonly referred to as junk bonds), which are those rated below the fourth highest rating category (i.e., grade BB/Ba and below). Compared to investment-grade bonds, junk bonds generally pay higher yields but have higher volatility and higher risk of default on payments.The fund may use forward delivery bonds, which are bonds priced on a determined date but that are not issued and settled until a later period (ranging from several weeks to more than a year). Forward delivery bonds with settlement dates greater than 35 days are treated as derivatives by the fund and are subject to the fund's policies and procedures with respect to derivatives. Forward delivery bonds with settlement dates greater than 35 days generally are used for non-hedging purposes to seek to enhance potential gains.Management process. Portfolio management looks for securities that appear to offer the best total return potential. In making buy and sell decisions, portfolio management typically weighs a number of factors, including economic outlooks, possible interest rate movements, yield levels across varying maturities, and changes in supply and demand within the municipal bond market. When evaluating any individual security and its issuer, portfolio management may consider a number of factors including the security's credit quality and terms, such as coupon, maturity date and call date, as well as the issuer's capital structure, leverage and ability to meet its current obligations. Portfolio management generally also considersfinancially material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, when available. Such factors may include, but are not limited to, exposure to climate change risks, income levels and unemployment data, and an issuer’s governance structure and practices.Although portfolio management may adjust the fund’s duration (a measure of sensitivity to interest rates) over a wider range, they generally intend to keep it similar to that of the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, which is generally between five and nine years.
