Investment objective & strategy
As of Dec. 31, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The Funds investment objective is to seek high current tax-free income for California residents.
Strategy. The Fund invests in municipal bonds issued by the State of California and various municipalities located within California. Generally, these bonds are rated in one of the four highest ratings (investment grade) by an independent rating organization such as Standard & Poors, Moodys or Fitch. In some cases, securities are not rated by independent agencies. The Fund will generally purchase an unrated security only if Shelton Capital Management, the investment advisor to the Fund, believes the security is of similar quality to an investment-grade issue. Shelton Capital Management will seek to invest in municipal bonds that meet environmental, social and governance screens so that the Fund may be considered a green municipal bond fund.

Generally, these bonds are rated in one of the four highest ratings (investment grade) by an independent rating organization such as Standard & Poors, Moodys or Fitch. In some cases, securities are not rated by independent agencies. The Fund will generally purchase an unrated security only if Shelton Capital Management, the investment advisor to the Fund, believes the security is of similar quality to an investment-grade issue. Shelton Capital Management will seek to invest in municipal bonds that meet environmental, social and governance screens so that the Fund may be considered a green municipal bond fund. In evaluating environmental, social and governance considerations, Shelton Capital Management uses criteria including, but not limited to, use of bond proceeds, expected environmental impact, the source of revenues for repayment, and the reputation of the issuer. Generally, the interest on municipal bonds is not subject to federal and California personal income taxes. Under normal market conditions, it is the Funds fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its total assets (which includes the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in California municipal bonds, that are exempt from federal and California state income taxes, although generally the percentage is much higher. California municipal bonds include municipal bonds issued by the State of California and various municipalities located within California. This policy with respect to exemption from federal and California state income taxes is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without shareholder approval. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests 80% of the net assets of the Fund (which includes the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal bonds that meet environmental, social and governance screens that Shelton Capital Management evaluates as making such investments green investments for this purpose. In evaluating environmental, social and governance considerations, Shelton Capital Management uses criteria including, but not limited to, use of bond proceeds, expected environmental impact, the source of revenues for repayment, and the reputation of the issuer. These policies with respect to California and green investments may not be changed unless Fund shareholders are given at least 60 days prior notice. The Funds duration typically ranges from four to twelve years. Although the Fund is not prevented from holding bonds whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), Shelton Capital Management seeks to invest primarily in non-AMT bonds. Shelton Capital Management may sell portfolio securities for a variety of reasons, including when it believes such securities are no longer consistent with the Funds investment objective, other securities appear to offer more compelling opportunities, or to meet redemption requests. Changes in the rating of a security will not necessarily result in the sale of that security. The Fund is non-diversified which means it may invest a large percentage of its assets in the securities of a particular issuer as compared with other types of mutual funds. Accordingly, a chance exists that the Funds performance may be hurt disproportionately by poor performance of a relatively few number of securities or by factors that impact a relatively small number of issuers.
