About FRCOX

Franklin Colorado Tax-Free Income Fund Class A1 is a municipal bond mutual fund designed to generate a high level of income exempt from both federal and Colorado state personal income taxes. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds issued by government entities within Colorado, supporting public projects and infrastructure across the state. Its portfolio consists of a broad base of holdings, allocating significant assets to sectors such as utilities, transportation, healthcare, and convention facilities through bonds like those issued by the Regional Transportation District and Denver City & County Board of Water Commissioners. By focusing on long-duration, investment-grade municipal securities, this fund seeks to meet the income needs of Colorado residents, particularly those in higher tax brackets. Managed by Franklin Templeton since 1987, the fund is recognized for its role in providing tax-advantaged monthly income while helping investors support local development and maintain capital preservation within the municipal fixed-income market.
