About COLCX
Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to deliver tax-advantaged income to investors by primarily investing in U.S. municipal bonds. Its primary function is to seek a total return that includes current income exempt from federal income tax, along with potential capital appreciation, while maintaining a moderate level of risk. This fund is categorized under the Muni National Long category, indicating a focus on bonds issued by various state and local governments to finance public projects. Portfolios in this category typically have durations exceeding six years or average maturities greater than twelve years, providing long-term exposure to the municipal bond market. A notable feature of this fund is its emphasis on higher yielding, investment-grade, and select below-investment-grade municipal securities. The fund actively diversifies across states and sectors, leveraging rigorous credit research and bottom-up security selection to identify compelling, undervalued opportunities. With a portfolio comprising hundreds of holdings, Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund Class C targets investors seeking tax-exempt income and broad municipal credit exposure.
