About VMTIX
Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana Class I is a single-state municipal bond mutual fund focused on generating income that is exempt from federal and Montana state income taxes. The fund primarily invests in investment-grade municipal securities issued by Montana state and local entities, including revenue and general obligation bonds, with an emphasis on preserving capital while delivering tax-advantaged income. Its mandate targets a high level of current income consistent with prudent credit and interest rate risk management, reflecting the relatively conservative profile typical of state-specific muni strategies. By channeling capital to public projects such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare, the fund supports essential services within Montana’s economy. The portfolio’s tax-exempt structure can be particularly relevant for residents seeking state and federal tax efficiency, while its focus on municipal credit fundamentals and duration positioning aims to balance yield with stability across market cycles.
