OBJECTIVE
| The National Tax-Free Money Market Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax, while preserving capital and liquidity.PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
| We actively manage a portfolio of high-quality, short-term municipal obligations that are issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the U.S. or their political subdivisions or financing authorities. These investments may have fixed, floating, or variable rates of interest. We will only purchase First Tier securities.We invest principally in municipal obligations that pay interest exempt from federal income tax and federal AMT. While we reserve the right to invest up to 20% of the Fund's net assets in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to federal income tax or federal AMT, we currently intend, under normal market conditions, to avoid investing in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to federal income tax or federal AMT.
Our security selection is based on several factors, including credit quality, yield and maturity, while taking into account the Fund's overall level of liquidity and average maturity.
The Fund may temporarily deviate from its principal investment strategies by investing its assets in high-quality, short-term money market instruments that pay interest subject to federal income tax or federal AMT. Circumstances in which the Fund may invest in these securities include, but are not limited to, periods of low or no availability of eligible municipal obligations or in order to manage liquidity. If the Fund invests in taxable securities, it may distribute taxable income.
A portion of the Fund's income may be subject to federal, state and/or local income taxes or the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.
