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. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds issued by various state and local governments to finance public projects, such as infrastructure and community development. 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. The fund also places an emphasis on limiting principal fluctuation, striving for capital stability alongside tax-advantaged income. This makes it a key choice for investors seeking tax efficiency in their fixed income allocation, and it plays a notable role in portfolios where managing tax liability and preserving capital are priorities.
