CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE FUND CLASS B (SGCBX) Exchange: NMFQS

DELISTED - Under normal circumstances, we invest:at least 80% of the Fund's net assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax, including federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), and California individual income tax;up to 20% of the Fund's net assets in securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, including federal AMT;up to 10% of the Fund's total assets in below investment-grade municipal securities; andup to 10% of the Fund's total assets in inverse floaters.We invest principally in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax, including federal AMT, and California individual income tax. Our investment holdings may include municipal securities issued by the state of California and its subdivisions, authorities, instrumentalities and corporations, as well as municipal securities issued by the territories and possessions of the United States. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified. Some of the securities may be below investment grade or may be unrated and deemed by us to be of comparable quality. We may also invest a portion of the Fund's net assets in securities whose interest is subject to federal income tax, including federal AMT. We may use futures for duration and yield curve management. While we may purchase securities of any maturity, under normal circumstances, we expect the Fund's dollar-weighted average effective maturity to be between 3 and 20 years.We may invest up to 10% of the Fund's total assets in inverse floaters to seek enhanced returns. Inverse floaters are derivative debt instruments created by depositing a municipal security in a trust. Inverse floaters pay interest at rates that generally vary inversely with specified short-term interest rates and involve leverage. We intend to limit leverage created by the Fund's investment in inverse floaters to an amount equal to 10% of the Fund's total assets.We start our investment process with a top-down, macroeconomic outlook to determine portfolio duration and yield curve positioning as well as industry, sector and credit quality allocations. Macroeconomic factors considered may include, among others, the pace of economic growth, employment conditions, inflation, and monetary and fiscal policy. In combination with our top-down macroeconomic approach, we conduct intensive research on individual issuers to uncover solid investment opportunities, especially looking for bonds whose quality may be improving. Our security selection is based on several factors including, among others, improving financial trends, positive industry and sector dynamics, improving economic conditions, specific demographic trends and value relative to other securities. We may sell a security due to changes in credit characteristics or outlook, as well as changes in portfolio strategy or cash flow needs. A security may also be sold based on relative value considerations and could be replaced with a security that presents a better value or risk/reward profile.
