Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.

Income generated by municipal bonds may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) and state and local taxes.

Modified duration: A measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates calculated by assuming that a callable bond will be redeemed on the appropriate call date if the bond is priced to a call date or at maturity if priced to maturity.

Weighted Average Life (WAL): The average time a dollar of principal is outstanding at an assumed prepayment rate.

Weighted average maturity: Is the average time to maturity of debt securities held in the fund.

Yield to worst (YTW): On a corporate bond, the yield to worst is the lowest yield that a buyer can expect among the reasonable alternatives, such as yield to maturity, yield to call, and yield to refunding.

Weighted average coupon: This figure is calculated by weighting each bond's coupon by its relative size in the portfolio. This figure indicates whether the portfolio has more high- or low-coupon bonds.
