About NOTCX

DWS Strategic High Yield Tax-Free Fund - Class C is an open-end mutual fund designed to provide investors with access to a portfolio of predominantly high-yield, tax-exempt municipal bonds. Its primary function is to offer federal income tax-free income by investing in municipal securities that finance public projects such as schools, infrastructure, and hospitals. The fund targets higher-yielding muni bonds, which typically involve greater credit and market risk compared to investment-grade munis, aiming to provide an attractive income stream for investors in higher tax brackets. This asset is notable for blending the potential benefits of high-yield fixed income with the tax advantages generally associated with municipal securities, making it particularly relevant for those seeking to manage after-tax returns. DWS Strategic High Yield Tax-Free Fund - Class C plays an important role in the financial market by servicing investors who desire a balance of enhanced yield and tax efficiency, while also diversifying sources of income beyond taxable bonds and equities.
