The percentage shown for each investment category in the Portfolio of Investments is based on net assets.

The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by New York 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 December 31, 2018, 12.6% 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 0.1% to 3.7% of total investments.

The Fund did not have any open derivative instruments at December 31, 2018.

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 December 31, 2018, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description    Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  

Tax-Exempt Investments

    $ —      $ 373,356,695      $ —      $ 373,356,695  

Total Investments

    $     —      $     373,356,695      $     —      $     373,356,695

Reorganization

As of the close of business on December 14, 2018, the Fund acquired the net assets of Eaton Vance New York Municipal Bond Fund II (New York Fund II), pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders of New York Fund II. The investment portfolio of New York Fund II, with a fair value of $53,007,450 and identified cost of $51,991,914 was the principal asset acquired by the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the identified cost of the investments received from New York Fund II was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $199,216,655. The net assets of New York Fund II at that date of $31,246,579 were combined with those of the Fund, resulting in combined net assets of $230,463,234.
