About FITZX
Franklin Federal Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Income Fund Advisor Class is an open-end mutual fund focused on providing investors with income that is exempt from regular federal income taxes. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its portfolio in municipal bonds whose interest is free from federal taxes, including the federal alternative minimum tax. Its holdings are diversified across various state and local governments, funding a range of public projects such as infrastructure, utilities, and community development. With an average portfolio duration in the intermediate range—typically between 4.0 to 6.0 years—it aims to balance the need for income with prudent risk management, making it suitable for investors seeking tax-advantaged fixed income exposure. Managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc., the fund’s monthly income distributions and emphasis on tax efficiency position it as a significant choice for individuals in higher federal tax brackets or those seeking to optimize after-tax returns within their fixed income allocations.
