Morningstar Rating™ as of December 31, 2020 for the Class C class shares; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Overall rating for the Municipal National Intermediate category. Fund ratings are out of 5 Stars: Overall 1 Stars (249 funds rated); 3 Yrs. 1 Stars (249 funds rated); 5 Yrs. 1 Stars (223 funds rated); 10 Yrs. 1 Stars (164 funds rated). The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products with at least a 3-year history. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance (not including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees if applicable), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Managed products; including open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds; are considered a single population for comparative purposes. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. ©2018 Morningstar, Inc.

Performance results for time periods prior to February 21, 2014 reflect implementation of the fund’s prior investment strategy in pursuit of the Fund’s prior investment objective, while performance results for time periods subsequent to February 21, 2014 reflect implementation of the current investment strategy in pursuit of the current investment objective.

Return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares | 2.63% | 2.04% | 2.31% |
After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown here and are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
Return after taxes on distributions (pre-liquidation) assume an investor held shares throughout the measurement period and reflect the effect of taxable distributions (assuming reinvestment in the fund) by a fund to its shareholders.
Return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares (post-liquidation) assume an investor sold shares at the end of the measurement period and, therefore, reflect the effect of both taxable distributions and any taxable gain or loss realized by the shareholder upon sale of fund shares.

These figures do not reflect the maximum sales charge which, if included, would reduce return.
