Investment objective & strategy
As of Oct. 23, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and Wisconsin individual income tax.
Strategy. Under normal circumstances, we invest: at least 80% of the Funds net assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax, including federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), and Wisconsin individual income tax; up to 20% of the Funds net assets in securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, including federal AMT; up to 10% of the Funds total assets in below investment-grade municipal securities; and up to 10% of the Funds total assets in inverse floaters. We invest principally in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax, including federal AMT, and Wisconsin individual income tax. Our investment holdings may include municipal securities issued by the state of Wisconsin and its subdivisions, authorities, … Under normal circumstances, we invest: at least 80% of the Funds net assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax, including federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), and Wisconsin individual income tax; up to 20% of the Funds net assets in securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, including federal AMT; up to 10% of the Funds total assets in below investment-grade municipal securities; and up to 10% of the Funds total assets in inverse floaters. We invest principally in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax, including federal AMT, and Wisconsin individual income tax. Our investment holdings may include municipal securities issued by the state of Wisconsin and its subdivisions, authorities, instrumentalities and corporations, as well as municipal securities issued by the territories and possessions of the United States or any other state that would be exempt from Wisconsin taxes. The Fund may invest in debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico. As part of our investment strategy, we may purchase appropriation bonds including municipal leases. Some of the securities may be below investment grade or may be unrated and deemed by us to be of comparable quality. We may also invest a portion of the Funds net assets in securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, including federal AMT. We may use futures for duration and yield curve management. While we may purchase securities of any maturity, under normal circumstances, we expect the Funds dollar-weighted average effective maturity to be between 3 and 20 years. We may invest up to 10% of the Funds total assets in inverse floaters to seek enhanced returns. Inverse floaters are derivative debt instruments created by depositing a municipal security in a trust. Inverse floaters pay interest at rates that generally vary inversely with specified short-term interest rates and involve leverage. We intend to limit leverage created by the Funds investment in inverse floaters to an amount equal to 10% of the Funds total assets. We use a combination of top-down and bottom-up research to cover the four main elements of total return: duration management, yield curve positioning, sector and credit quality allocation, and security selection. Our top-down analysis involves an evaluation of macroeconomic factors that may include, among others, the pace of economic growth, employment conditions, inflation, and monetary and fiscal policy. Our bottom-up analysis, which involves intensive research into the credit fundamentals of individual issuers and the relative value of individual issues, is used to uncover solid investment opportunities. Securities are selected based on several factors, including, among others, improving financial trends, positive industry and sector dynamics, improving economic conditions, and specific demographic trends. Securities may be sold based on relative value considerations and could be replaced with a security that presents a better value or risk/reward profile. A security may also be sold due to changes in credit characteristics or outlook, as well as changes in portfolio strategy or cash flow needs. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified.
