About VPAIX

This fund aims to generate income that is exempt from both federal and Pennsylvania personal income taxes, making it exclusively suitable for residents of Pennsylvania. Its investment strategy focuses primarily on high-quality municipal bonds issued by Pennsylvania state and local governments, alongside regional government and public financing authorities. Typically, at least 80% of the fund's assets will be allocated to securities whose income is free from both federal and Pennsylvania state taxes. Although there are no specific limitations on the maturity of individual securities held, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from 10 to 25 years. With an average duration of approximately 6–10 years, the fund's share price is considerably more reactive to fluctuations in interest rates compared to funds with shorter-term bond holdings. Therefore, it may be an appropriate choice for Pennsylvania investors who desire tax-exempt interest income and are prepared to accept the associated interest rate volatility.
