Any derivatives that provide exposure to the investment focus suggested by the funds name, or to one or more market risk factors associated with the investment focus suggested by the funds name, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the funds 80% investment policy. While the fund may buy securities of any maturity, the fund generally seeks longer-term securities. Most investments are in investment-grade securities, which are securities rated in one of the four highest credit rating categories by at least one credit rating agency or, if unrated, deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality. However, the fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in below investment-grade securities, known as junk bonds, including those with the lowest credit rating. In addition, up to 20% of the funds income could be derived from securities subject to the alternative minimum tax. In addition to investing in state and local general obligation bonds, the fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in sectors with special risks, such as health care, transportation, and utilities, as well as private activity bonds (including industrial revenue bonds), which are municipal bonds issued by a government agency on behalf of a private sector company and, in most cases, are not backed by the credit of the issuing municipality. It is possible that 25% or more of the funds assets could be invested in municipal securities that would tend to respond similarly to particular economic or political developments. For example, the fund may invest in securities of issuers whose revenues are generated from similar types of projects or operate in similar industries. The fund may at times invest more than 25% of its net assets overall in industrial revenue bonds, but investments in industrial revenue bonds related to the same industry may not exceed 25% of the funds net assets. Bonds that are refunded with escrowed U.S. government securities are not subject to the 25% limitation. Refunded bonds may have originally been issued as general obligation or revenue bonds, but become refunded when they are secured by an escrow fund, usually consisting entirely of direct U.S. government obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, and/or cash. Due to seasonal variations in the supply of suitable Georgia municipal securities, the fund may invest in other municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal but not Georgia income taxes. While efforts will be made to minimize such investments, they could comprise up to 10% of the funds annual income. The fund is nondiversified, which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than is permissible for a diversified fund. Show less
