Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of this Fund carefully before investing. This and other information is contained in the Fund´s prospectus and summary prospectus, if available, which may be obtained by contacting your financial advisor, or by calling 888-877-4626.

The daily section presents performance dating from the inception of the actual share class only.

 

**This is the inception date of the oldest share class, which for this Fund includes the A, D and Institutional share classes. The returns presented are for Class D shares. Total return performance assumes that all dividend and capital gains distributions were reinvested on the payable date and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

 

The Fund intends to invest a substantial portion of its assets in high yield Municipal Bonds and private activity bonds that are rated (at the time of purchase) below investment grade. Shareholders of a municipal bond fund will, at times, incur a tax liability, as income from these funds may be subject to state and local taxes. For shareholders subject to the AMT, distributions derived from private activity bonds must be included in their AMT calculations, and as such a portion of the Fund?s distribution may be subject to federal income tax. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. In an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value.

 

The Fund may invest in bonds of issuers in California and New York. It is important to note that a fund concentrating in a single state is subject to greater risk of adverse economic conditions and regulatory changes than a fund with broader geographical diversification. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may concentrate its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. In addition, the Fund may also invest in securities issued by entities, such as trusts, whose underlying assets are Municipal Bonds, including, without limitation, residual interest bonds. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls).

 

The Fund may invest in derivative instruments and certain transactions which may give rise to a form of leverage. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leverage, including borrowing, may create the potential for greater gains during favorable market conditions and the risk of magnified losses during adverse market conditions. Use of derivative instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments.

 

The benchmark is a blend of 60% Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index and 40% Barclays Capital General Municipal Bond Index. The Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index made up of bonds that are non-investment grade, unrated, or rated below Ba1 by Moody's Investors Service with a remaining maturity of at least one year. Barclays Capital General Municipal Bond Index consists of a broad selection of investment-grade general obligation and revenue bonds of maturities ranging from one year to 30 years. It is an unmanaged index representative of the tax-exempt bond market. The index is made up of all investment-grade municipal bonds issued after 12/31/90 having a remaining maturity of at least one year. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

^The Lipper Category returns and rankings are calculated by Lipper Inc., a Reuters Company, which is a nationally recognized organization that compares the performance of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Category returns represent the average performance of included funds, while rankings compare an individual funds returns to those of the other funds in its category. Both are based on total return performance, with capital gains and dividends reinvested, with annual operating expenses deducted, but without including front- or back-end sales charges. Rankings begin with the actual share class inception. Rankings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean that the fund had high total returns.

 

Growth of $10,000 is calculated at NAV and assumes that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. It does not take into account sales charges or the effect of taxes. Results are not indicative of future performance.

 

^^ This yield is calculated by annualizing the current months distribution and dividing by the NAV on the last business day of the period. It does not include long- or short-term capital gains distributions. The SEC Yield is a standardized annual yield based on the most recent 30-day period. It is calculated in accordance with current Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is subject to change.
