About FROZX
Franklin Ohio Tax-Free Income Fund Advisor Class is a municipal bond mutual fund focused on providing investors with income that is exempt from both federal and Ohio state personal income taxes. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities issued within Ohio, carefully selecting bonds that seek to preserve capital while maximizing tax-exempt yield for residents of the state. With over 240 holdings, the fund is diversified across a broad array of Ohio-based issuers, such as local governments, school districts, and state agencies. It aims to suit investors seeking steady, tax-advantaged monthly income, reflected in its consistent monthly dividend payouts. The fund is notable for its low historical beta, indicating reduced volatility compared to broader markets, and maintains a moderate expense ratio. Its market significance lies in serving investors who prioritize tax efficiency, particularly those residing in Ohio, and who seek comparatively stable returns within the municipal bond sector.
