PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
THE FUND | The Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Bond Fund seeks tax-free income by principally investing in a diversified portfolio of municipal securities.
FUND STRATEGY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
- Rigorous fundamental credit research: Research is conducted through a comprehensive team effort in which all members operate as credit analysts for each of the credits that they cover. This empowers the team to act opportunistically in the marketplace.
- Open work environment: The team benefits from an open work environment in which investment management professionals in varying capacities interact continuously throughout the day. This includes partnerships with economists and taxable fixed-income teams who provide valuable perspective and information in measuring markets and anticipating shifts in the tax-free markets, which are often preceded by shifts in the taxable markets.
- Disciplined research and risk management: The team's disciplined credit analysis and proprietary risk management model allow portfolio managers to move down in credit without compromising the investment process.
RISKS |
Bond fund values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond fund values fall and investors may lose principal value. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk, and municipal securities risk. Consult the fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
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.
