About BSCCX

Sterling Capital South Carolina Intermediate Tax-Free Fund Class C is a municipal bond mutual fund focused on delivering current income exempt from federal and South Carolina state income taxes while emphasizing preservation of capital. The portfolio invests at least 80% of assets in tax-exempt municipal securities, including general obligation bonds, special revenue bonds, notes, and tax‑exempt commercial paper, with no income currently subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The strategy maintains an intermediate interest‑rate profile, with an effective duration around the mid‑single digits and a laddered maturity mix spanning roughly 0–10+ years. The fund typically holds a concentrated lineup of several dozen issues, reflecting active credit selection across South Carolina municipal issuers. Class C features a higher ongoing expense ratio relative to other share classes within the strategy. Launched in 2012 for this share class, the fund distributes income monthly, aligning with investors seeking steady, tax‑advantaged cash flows from the state and local government debt market. Its role in the market centers on providing state‑specific tax‑exempt exposure with intermediate duration to balance income generation and interest‑rate sensitivity.
