About FCTQX
Franklin Connecticut Tax-Free Income Fund Class R6 is a municipal bond mutual fund focused on generating income that is exempt from both federal and Connecticut state personal income taxes. Its primary purpose is to provide shareholders with a high level of tax-free income by investing at least 80% of its assets in securities that pay interest exempt from regular federal income taxes and Connecticut personal income taxes. The fund mainly invests in investment-grade municipal bonds issued by entities within Connecticut, which may include state and local government obligations and related agencies. Targeted towards investors seeking tax-efficient income, the fund plays an important role in the tax-exempt fixed income segment, particularly for residents of Connecticut or those seeking exposure to single-state municipal debt. Managed by Franklin Templeton, a prominent fund family, this fund is structured as an institutional share class, typically appealing to retirement plans and other large investors due to its expense structure and minimum investment requirements. By specializing in Connecticut municipal securities, the fund provides diversification benefits along with consistent income potential within the tax-advantaged municipal bond market.
