Fund Description

The Fund employs an active management approach, investing primarily in high-quality municipal bonds issued by California state and local governments, as well as by regional governmental and public financing authorities. As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amountof any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities whose income is exempt from federal and California state taxes.The Fund primarily purchases municipal bonds rated investment-grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or (if unrated) determined to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s advisor.The Fund expects to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity between 10 and 25 years, but has no limitations on the maturities of individualsecurities.
