Limited term municipal income funds generally invest in short-term and intermediate-term municipal bonds that are mostly rated investment grade.
Short-intermediate municipal securities generally tend to perform better than long-duration securities in periods of rising interest rate because they have less duration risk.
Municipal bonds are attractive in taxable accounts because the income they produce is exempt from federal income taxes and may also be exempt from state and local taxes. Adding municipal bonds may also provide diversification for fixed income portfolios.

Duration measures a bond's or fixed income portfolio's price sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Not all share classes are available to all investors. Class A2 has a limited offering, Class R5 and Y shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV and may be closed to most investors. Please see the prospectus for more information.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and vice versa. An issuer may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating. Junk bond values fluctuate more than high quality bonds and can decline significantly over a short time.
Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional investments and are subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. An investment in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested.
Securities which are in the medium- and lower grade categories generally offer higher yields than are offered by higher-grade securities of similar maturity, but they also generally involve more volatility and greater risks, such as greater credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, management risk, and regulatory risk.
The Fund may invest in municipal securities issued by entities having similar characteristics, which may make the Fund more susceptible to fluctuation.
Municipal securities have the risk that legislative or economic conditions could affect an issuer’s ability to make principal and/or interest payments.
Inverse floating rate obligations may be subject to greater price volatility than a fixed income security with similar qualities. When short-term interest rates rise, they may decrease in value and produce less or no income and are subject to risks similar to derivatives.
There is no guarantee that the Fund’s income will be exempt from federal and state income taxes.
Based on a Master Settlement Agreement (“MSA”) with 46 states and six other US jurisdictions, large US tobacco manufacturers have agreed to make annual payments to government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. Several states have sold bonds backed by those future payments, including (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state which requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state. Settlement payments are based on factors, including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.
