About SCMTX

The portfolio predominantly comprises revenue bonds and general obligation bonds, with its investments diversified across major states such as Texas, New York, and Pennsylvania. The fund is designed for investors seeking stable, tax-advantaged income and takes a moderately conservative approach to credit risk, maintaining the majority of holdings in investment-grade instruments.
