About FRPTX
Franklin Pennsylvania Tax-Free Income Fund Class C is a municipal bond mutual fund designed to provide investors with a high level of income that is exempt from both regular federal income taxes and Pennsylvania personal income taxes.

This makes the fund particularly relevant for Pennsylvania residents seeking tax-advantaged income. By focusing on Pennsylvania municipal bonds, the fund supports local infrastructure and public projects, and its holdings may span various durations and sectors within the state’s municipal market. With a longstanding presence since its inception in 1995, the fund serves as a specialized tool for tax-conscious investors looking for stable income and preservation of capital while contributing to Pennsylvania’s municipal financing needs.
