As of Aug 31, 2025, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
Among the 76 funds we follow that invest in tax-free municipal bonds, 7 charge a lower management fee and one charges less in total, at their last yearly reports. Both numbers are measured against the fund's own money, not the money it borrows on top, so a fund that borrows more shows higher costs on both counts. - Payouts: last fiscal year (ended Aug 31, 2025) the fund paid $0.35 a share, all of it income. Most funds announce their monthly or quarterly payout on their own website, not in a filing with the regulator, so a cut or a raise there does not show up here until the next yearly report. A few funds do file a notice about a fixed payout; those appear under What happened, and when. As of Aug 31, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- Value of holdings per share at the last fiscal year end (Aug 31, 2025): $8.85. The shares traded at $8.52, about 3.7% below that. As of Aug 31, 2025, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
- How the holdings did: down 1% over the last three months we have (June-Aug 2026), before the share price is taken into account. As of Aug 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →

What these lines mean: a payout that is your own money back, what a fund costs, borrowing.
What a holder made
- The year ended Aug 31, 2025: the shares returned -1.1%, counting payouts; the holdings -2.3%. The holdings figure is what the fund's investments earned, before the share price is taken into account. As of Aug 31, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- The year ended Aug 31, 2024: the shares returned +4.3%, counting payouts; the holdings +2%. As of Aug 31, 2024, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- The year ended Feb 29, 2024: the shares returned +4.7%, counting payouts; the holdings +5.9%. As of Feb 29, 2024, from the fund's annual report. Original document →

- The holdings over the last twelve months we have, to Aug 31, 2026: +6%. The quarterly reports carry no share price, so this is the holdings alone. As of Aug 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
- Of the 42 funds that invest in tax-free municipal bonds with a fiscal year ending within six months of this one, 37 reported a higher share return for that year and 4 a lower one. As of Aug 31, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- A past year says nothing about the next one. All figures are the fund's own, from its reports to the regulator.
Why the shares and the holdings can differ: the gap between price and value. Why payouts count: a payout that is your own money back.
