The Trust invests primarily in debt securities issued by municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at August 31, 2015, 25.4% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 0.5% to 10.4% of total investments.

At August 31, 2015, the concentration of the Trust’s investments in the various states, determined as a percentage of total investments, is as follows:

 

                        

New York

     19.8

Texas

     12.6

California

     11.8

Others, representing less than 10% individually

     55.8

 

(1) Represents a payment-in-kind security which may pay interest in additional principal at the issuer’s discretion.

 

(2) Security represents the municipal bond held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds.

 

(3) Amount is less than 0.05%.

 

(4) Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in certain transactions (normally to qualified institutional buyers) and remain exempt from registration. At August 31, 2015, the aggregate value of these securities is $16,857,979 or 5.6% of the Trust’s net assets applicable to common shares.

 

(5) Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged as collateral for residual interest bond transactions. The aggregate value of such collateral is $40,821,531.

 

(6) When-issued security.

 

(7) Variable rate security. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at August 31, 2015.

 

(8) Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover payable for when-issued securities.

 

(9) Security is in default and making only partial interest payments.

 

(10) Defaulted bond.

 

(11) Variable rate security. The stated dividend rate represents the rate in effect at August 31, 2015. Maturity date represents the mandatory redemption date. Each share represents $5,000 par value.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Trust at August 31, 2015, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

Aggregate cost

   $     372,613,428   
  

 

 

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

   $ 45,157,743   

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (6,220,600

The Trust did not have any open financial instruments at August 31, 2015.

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At August 31, 2015, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description    Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  

Tax-Exempt Municipal Securities

   $       $ 545,778,605       $       $ 545,778,605   

Taxable Municipal Securities

             13,398,570                 13,398,570   

Corporate Bonds & Notes

             2,285,476                 2,285,476   

Institutional MuniFund Term Preferred Shares

             3,007,920                 3,007,920   

Total Investments

   $     —       $     564,470,571       $     —       $     564,470,571   

Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the fiscal year to date ended August 31, 2015 is not presented.

At August 31, 2015, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the fiscal year to date then ended.

For information on the Trust’s policy regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trust’s most recent financial statements included in its semiannual or annual report to shareholders.
