Emphasizing a combination of income generation and preservation of capital, the fund utilizes in-depth sector and security selection, along with yield curve analysis, to manage its portfolio. Notable features include its monthly dividend distributions and a low-expense share class structure designed for retirement plans and institutional investors. With a diversified portfolio that typically holds over 200 bonds, the fund plays a key role in the municipal bond market by supporting public financing efforts for infrastructure, education, and essential community services within South Carolina.
