Fund Description

The Fund invests in a portfolio of municipal bonds, including municipal mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. While current income is the Fund’s primary focus, it seeks to produce income in a manner consistent with the preservation of principal.Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in municipal bonds, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. This is a fundamental policy. For the purposes of this policy, “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund also invests in municipal mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, as well as restricted securities. The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in municipal mortgage-backed securities at the adviser’s discretion. The securities in which the Fund invests may have fixed rates of return or floating or variable rates.Municipal bonds are debt securities with maturities of 90 days or more at the time of issuance issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their respective authorities, political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax. The securities are issued to raise funds for various public and private purposes. Municipal bonds include private activity and industrial development bonds, tax anticipation notes and participations in pools of municipal securities.Up to 100% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in municipal bonds, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities rated below investment grade. Such securities are known as “junk bonds,” “high yield bonds” and “non-investment grade bonds.” Junk bonds also include unrated securities that the adviser believes to be of comparable quality to debt securities that are rated below investment grade. These securities generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories (for example, BB+ or lower by S&P and Ba1 or lower by Moody’s). These securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities, but involve a high degree of risk. A security’s quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality, such that, following the time of purchase, they would be deemed to be below investment grade. If the quality of an investment grade security is downgraded subsequent to purchase to below investment grade, the Fund may continue to hold the security.As a matter of fundamental policy, the Fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets: (i) in securities within a single industry; or (ii) in securities of governmental units or issuers in the same state, territory or possession. However, from time to time, the Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal housing authority obligations.The Fund’s average weighted maturity will range from three to 15 years, although the Fund may shorten its average weighted maturity to as little as two years if appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Average weighted maturity is the average of all the current maturities (that is, the term of the securities) of the individual bonds in a Fund calculated so as to count most heavily those securities with the highest dollar value. Average weighted maturity is important to investors as an indication of a Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Usually, the longer the average weighted maturity, the more fluctuation in share price you can expect.“Sustainable” in the Fund’s name refers to the Fund’s strategy to tilt the Fund’s portfolio based on social or environmental benefits as part of its investment strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests the majority of its assets in securities whose use of proceeds, in the adviser’s opinion, provide positive social or environmental benefits. In order to identify and invest in bonds that provide positive social or environmental benefits, the adviser determines and assesses each bond’s intended use of proceeds. The adviser will generally view bonds that finance affordable housing, healthcare, municipal water and sewer, education, mass transit, not for profits and issuer designated green bonds as promoting positive social or environmental benefits. In addition to the uses of proceeds noted above, the adviser may identify additional uses of bond proceeds that it believes will provide positive social or environmental benefits and may invest in such bonds as part of the Fund’s investment strategy. The use of proceeds determination for securities purchased by the Fund will be made at the time of purchase. If the use of proceeds of a security changes after the time of purchase so as to no longer provide positive social and/or environmental benefits, the Fund may continue to hold the security.The Fund may also invest in zero-coupon securities.Investment Process: The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles, the majority of which will provide positive social or environmental benefits. The adviser is value oriented and makes investment decisions after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, any security pledge, and a review of the security’s attributes such as the coupon, maturity and any redemption and tender provisions. The adviser’s risk/reward analysis along with its use of proceeds assessment allows the adviser to collectively evaluate those criteria when selecting securities for purchase.The adviser utilizes a proprietary framework to monitor the portfolio’s overall investment in bonds that have been designated as providing positive social or environmental benefits. Through the framework, the adviser assesses characteristics of bond issuances and their proceeds using third party data and/or internal research. The proprietary framework, as well as the adviser’s views on municipal bond use of proceeds, are periodically reviewed internally.Generally, the adviser determines whether or not to sell a security by looking at a number of factors such as the security’s attributes (e.g., coupon, maturity and redemption/tender provisions), liquidity, relative value and the credit quality of the security. The adviser also factors in the overall investment strategy of the Fund, including its positioning relative to the benchmark, its duration and its credit strategy, as well as the adviser’s interest rate outlook.
