Fund Description

The Fund seeks to provide a steady flow of tax-exempt income derived from Kentucky municipal securities of investment grade quality (those rated BBB or Baa or higher by U.S. nationally recognized rating services at the time of purchase) with a weighted average nominal maturity normally ranging from 2-7 years. The interest earned on these securities, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer, is exempt from federal and state taxation in the state of Kentucky. The Fund has a fundamental policy that during periods of normal market conditions either (1) the Fund’s assets will be invested so that at least 80% of the income will be exempt from Federal and Kentucky income taxes or (2) the Fund will have at least 80% of its net assets invested in securities exempt from Federal and Kentucky income taxes. Maintaining a steady stream of tax-exempt income is a primary objective of the Fund. The investment adviser selects the securities that it believes will provide the best balance between risk and return and typically uses a buy and hold strategy. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio are typically held for income purposes, rather than trading them for capital gains. However, the investment adviser may sell a security at any time if it believes it could help the Fund meet its goals.
This Fund is non-diversified.
