About LSMSX

Western Asset SMASh Series TF Fund is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with exposure to the municipal bond market, focusing primarily on tax-free income generation. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of municipal securities, which are typically issued by state and local governments to finance public projects. Its primary benchmark is the Bloomberg Municipal Total Return Index, with the portfolio comprising hundreds of individual holdings to help manage risk while seeking attractive after-tax returns. A notable feature of this fund is its classification as "non-diversified," allowing it to allocate a larger percentage of assets to select issuers compared to diversified funds, which may increase both risk and return potential. The SMASh Series TF Fund is structured to appeal to investors seeking tax-advantaged income, making it particularly relevant for those in higher tax brackets. Managed by Western Asset, a recognized specialist in fixed income strategies, the fund plays an important role in offering access to the municipal bond sector and supporting public infrastructure funding through its investment activities.
