A new star has emerged! We have long recognized the futility of forecasting markets — it causes nothing but problems. We may never know the source of new opportunities in advance, but we know how to prepare for them. Usually investing cash is one of our team’s most mundane activities. However, over the past couple of years, wild swings in investor sentiment, along with higher rates have produced broad opportunities to add value with active cash management.

Issuers with credit ratings of AA or better are considered to be of high credit quality, with little risk of issuer failure. Issuers with credit ratings of BBB or better are considered to be of good credit quality, with adequate capacity to meet financial commitments.

RISKS
Investors in the Fund should be able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of portfolios changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions, and other political, social, and economic developments. Bond prices may be sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices. Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, interest-rate, issuer, maturity, call, credit, and inflation risk; investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and, at times, the alternative minimum tax. The Fund invests in derivative instruments, investments whose values depend on the performance of the underlying security, assets, interest rate, index or currency and entail potentially higher volatility and risk of loss compared to traditional stock or bond investments. As the Fund’s exposure in any one municipal revenue sector backed by revenues from similar types of projects increases, the Fund will also become more sensitive to adverse economic, business, or political developments relevant to these projects. Asset allocation decisions, particularly large redemptions, made by an investment adviser whose discretionary clients make up a large percentage of the Fund’s shareholders may adversely impact remaining Fund shareholders. There can be no assurance the fund will achieve its investment objectives.
