The fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide a high and sustainable level of current income that is exempt from federal personal income taxes. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the advisor. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in less-than-investment-grade bonds, as determined by a rating organization or by the advisor. The fund has no limitations on the maturity of individual securities but is expected to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 10 to 25 years. This low-cost municipal bond fund seeks to provide a high level of federally tax-exempt income and typically appeals to investors in higher tax brackets. The fund’s lower credit quality may provide a higher yield, but it makes the fund more susceptible to price volatility due to uncertain prospects for the bond issuers. Investors who are looking for a fund that may provide sustainable federally tax-exempt interest income and can tolerate moderate risk to principal may wish to consider this fund as a complement to an already diversified fixed income portfolio.

“Finally a free dividend calculator that doesn't make me sign up or connect my brokerage. Entered SCHD and got the full DRIP projection in seconds. Bookmarked immediately.”
“I've been trying to figure out how much dividend income I'd need to retire. This tool showed me exactly — $400K in JEPI at 7% yield gives me $2,333/month. No calculator did that this clearly before.”
“Really solid passive income calculator. Covers everything: DRIP compounding, Roth IRA tax savings, DCA contributions. The year-by-year breakdown is what I was missing from other tools.”
“As someone planning retirement in 5 years, this dividend yield calculator showed me I need about 12% more in dividend stocks to hit my income target. Incredibly useful and completely free.”
“The Congress trades tracker is genius. Saw that several senators were buying O (Realty Income) and immediately ran it through the DRIP calculator. Bought 50 shares the next day.”
