    Portfolio Positioning as of 12/31/2024

    • We continue to underweight callable bonds priced close to par to improve the performance characteristics of the Fund and positioning the portfolio to have higher probabilities of performing better in a wide range of potential interest rate scenarios. Along the same lines, we have been mostly buying bonds with higher coupons and longer calls along with bonds trading at deep discounts to position in more favorable structures.

    • With the normalization of the yield curve, we've decreased allocations to bonds maturing in less than 4 years and more than 12 years, while reallocating to 8-to-12-year maturities, which present an attractive risk/reward dynamic. This repositioning has not materially changed the interest rate risk of the portfolio.

    • We remain overweight the lower quality tiers of investment grade, which allow for significant yield pickup compared to higher-rated tiers, and maintain a modest exposure to non-investment grade bonds relative to the all-investment grade benchmark. We believe this will help drive outperformance over the long term.

    The Bloomberg 1-15 Year Municipal Bond index is the 1-15 year component of the Municipal Bond index. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index engineered for the long-term tax-exempt bond market. The index is a broad measure of the municipal bond market with maturities of at least one year.  To be included in the index, bonds must be rated investment-grade (Baa3/BBB- or higher) by at least two of the following ratings agencies: Moody's, S&P, Fitch. If only two of the three agencies rate the security, the lower rating is used to determine index eligibility. If only one of the three agencies rates a security, the rating must be investment-grade. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated-date after December 31, 1990, and must be at least one year from their maturity date.
