Fund Description

The investment seeks investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of the BofA Merrill Lynch National Insured Long-Term Core Plus Municipal Securities Index (the "underlying index"). The fund generally invests at least 80% of its total assets in insured municipal securities that are exempt from federal income tax and that comprise the underlying index, and generally expects to so invest at least 90% of its total assets. Qualifying securities must have a remaining term of at least 15 years to final maturity.
