Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund

The distribution rate is calculated by the most recent distribution, multiplies it by 12 to get an annu­alized total, and then divides the result by the NAV. It is the Fund’s policy to make periodic distributions of tax-exempt income, net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any. Unless you elect otherwise, such distributions to you will be reinvested in additional shares of the same share class of a Fund at net asset value calculated as of the payment date. 

30-day SEC Yield is a standard yield calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer comparisons of bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30-day period covered by the fund’s filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period, after the deduction of the fund’s expenses. This is also referred to as the “standardized yield.” The number is then annualized. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund, and therefore may not be correlated with dividends and distributions paid. Had fees not been waived and or/expenses reimbursed, the SEC Yield would have been lower. 

Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) is a tax on items not normally taxed that are imposed by the federal government for individuals who exceed specific income thresholds. 

Yield to worst is a measure of the lowest possible yield that can be received on a bond that operates within the terms of its contract without defaulting.
