About SHRSX
Western Asset California Municipals Fund IS is a mutual fund focused on providing a high level of current income that is exempt from both regular federal income taxes and California state personal income taxes. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities issued by the state of California and its local governments or agencies. These securities typically include intermediate-term and long-term municipal bonds, with maturities ranging from one to over thirty years, offering diversification across various credit qualities and issuers. The primary purpose of the fund is to serve California-based investors seeking tax-advantaged income, making it particularly relevant for those in higher tax brackets. By targeting California municipal bonds, the fund has a significant impact on the public finance sector within the state, helping finance infrastructure, schools, and community projects. The fund’s relatively low expense ratio further enhances its appeal as an efficient vehicle within the municipal bond fund category.
