Fund Description
div style="margin-top: 6pt;"span style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by employing /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"a “laddered” bond strategy, pursuant to which the Fund /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"invests/spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 12.50pt;" /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"in debt instruments that pay interest that is exempt from regular /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"federal income tax with different maturity dates (or “rungs”) /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"through the year 2045 (the “terminal year”). Generally, NTI /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"implements the Fund’s laddered bond strategy by investing the /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"Fund’s assets in approximately equal proportions (as measured /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"by par value) across the existing rungs at the time of investment /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"to provide periodic distributions to /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"Fund shareholders/spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;" in the /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"form of income and/or principal (based upon par value of the /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"underlying bonds) each year through the terminal year. The /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"Fund/spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"'/spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"s portfolio is currently/spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;" comprised of 20 rungs with clusters /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"of maturities throughout 2026 and each subsequent year /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"through 2045. As the bonds in a rung reach their final maturity, /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"the Fund generally will not reinvest the proceeds in bonds with /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"maturities in future rungs. The Fund will make a cash /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"distribution out of the available proceeds to Fund shareholders /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"which will primarily consist of the par value received from the /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"maturing bonds and may include a return of capital. Any such /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"return of capital distribution, which involves the return of a /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"portion of a shareholder’s investment, may be substantial. Upon /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"conclusion of the final rung in the terminal year, the Fund will /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"liquidate and distribute substantially all of its assets as described /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"more fully below./spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 6pt; line-height: 6.00pt;" /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 6pt; line-height: 6.00pt;" /span/div div style="margin-top: 6pt;"span style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"investment purposes) in debt instruments that pay interest that /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"is exempt from regular federal income tax (“tax-exempt /spanspan style="color: #000000; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9.5pt;"bonds”).
