About SZMAX
DWS Intermediate Tax-Free Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to deliver a high level of income that is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes.

With a target duration of 4 to 6 years, this fund focuses on the intermediate segment of the municipal bond market, balancing yield potential with moderate interest rate risk. By spreading its assets across different states and sectors, it aims to reduce credit and geographic risk.
