Effective February 1, 2021, the ICE BofA 1-22 Year U.S. Municipal Securities Index is the Fund’s style-specific benchmark. The ICE BofA 1-22 Year U.S. Municipal Securities Index is a subset of the ICE BofA U.S. Municipal Securities Index including all securities with a remaining term to final maturity less than 22 years, calculated on a total return basis. The indexes are calculated on a total return basis, are unmanaged, and are not available for direct investment.
