Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
WHAT AFFECTED THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
During the reporting period, the US Federal Reserve held policy rates steady. Meanwhile, municipal bond issuance picked up in the first half of
2024 due to deferred maintenance and stabilizing project costs amid slowing inflation, moderating economic data, and upcoming elections.
Despite downgraded outlooks for California and Maryland, strong fundamentals (e.g., healthy tax collections, robust rainy-day funds, and
upgrades that outpaced downgrades) provided a positive backdrop for demand, and spreads tightened.
The following contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: a significant overweight to the long
end of the yield curve (despite front-end rates rallying more than long-end rates and the portfolio’s yield curve flattener positioning), and an
overweight to housing bonds, driven by an overweight to Low Income Housing Tax Credit multifamily deals. (A yield curve is a line graph that
illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. It is created by plotting the yields of different maturities
for the same type of bonds. A yield curve flattener is an interest rate environment in which long-term rates are decreasing more quickly than
short-term rates.)
The following detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period: duration positioning as municipal
bond rates rallied, overweight positioning in dedicated tax deals driven by Illinois’ Metropolitan Pier and Expo Authority (MPEA), and an
overweight position within transportation-airports. (Duration measures the sensitivity of the price—the value of principal—of a bond to a
change in interest rates.)
The Fund uses derivatives when they facilitate implementation of the overall investment approach. During the reporting period, the Fund used
futures to help manage duration positioning and yield curve exposure. The Fund’s positions in futures contributed modestly to performance
during the reporting period.
