About SZMCX

DWS Intermediate Tax-Free Fund - Class C is a municipal bond mutual fund designed to deliver a high level of income that is exempt from regular federal income taxes while seeking to limit principal fluctuation. The portfolio primarily invests in investment-grade securities issued by municipalities across the United States, typically maintaining at least 80% of net assets in tax-exempt holdings. Its strategy emphasizes intermediate maturities, with a significant allocation to revenue bonds alongside general obligation bonds, aiming to balance income generation with interest rate sensitivity. As of mid-2025, the fund’s credit profile spans AAA to BBB and select below-investment-grade and unrated positions, reflecting diversified credit exposure within the municipal market. The fund tracks characteristics of the national intermediate muni category and has been recognized by third-party ratings for risk-adjusted performance at certain share classes, though ratings are not predictive of future results. Managed by DWS, the vehicle serves investors seeking federally tax-exempt income and exposure to a broad cross-section of U.S. municipal issuers, including key states with sizable issuance such as Texas and New York.
