This investment option, exclusively tailored for California residents, aims to provide a more attractive current income stream than shorter-duration bonds, while simultaneously offering enhanced share price stability compared to longer-term debt instruments. It predominantly invests in high-quality municipal bonds issued by California's state and local governments, along with regional and public financing authorities. Under typical market conditions, at least 80% of the fund's holdings will consist of securities whose income is exempt from both federal and California state taxes.
