Industry description
The investment seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax; capital appreciation is also an objective, but is secondary to income.

It may invest up to 35% of its total assets in unrated securities, and may invest up to 50% of its total assets in unrated securities and high yield securities.
