The U.S. economy remained resilient, though signs of labor market softening led the U.S. Federal Reserve to implement three 25-basis-point rate cuts. Interest rate volatility drove returns while credit spreads remained range-bound. The municipal yield curve remained steep, as demand for shorter maturities was consistently strong. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;The yield curve positioning contributed to excess returns relative to the benchmark (the Bloomberg Municipal Short-Intermediate 1-10 Years Index). The portfolio was able to take advantage of the steep curve and be overweight the more attractive portion while being underweight where valuations were less attractive at the front end. Duration also made a slight positive contribution. Security selection in education and transportation both contributed to returns. The portfolio had a significant overweight to the housing sector that also contributed to relative returns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;There were no relative detractors from security or sector selection.&lt;/div&gt;</oef:FactorsAffectingPerfTextBlock>

The U.S. economy remained resilient, though signs of labor market softening led the U.S. Federal Reserve to implement three 25-basis-point rate cuts. Interest rate volatility drove returns while credit spreads remained range-bound. The municipal yield curve remained steep, as demand for shorter maturities was consistently strong. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;The yield curve positioning contributed to excess returns relative to the benchmark (the Bloomberg Municipal Short-Intermediate 1-10 Years Index). The portfolio was able to take advantage of the steep curve and be overweight the more attractive portion while being underweight where valuations were less attractive at the front end. Duration also made a slight positive contribution. Security selection in education and transportation both contributed to returns. The portfolio had a significant overweight to the housing sector that also contributed to relative returns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;There were no relative detractors from security or sector selection.&lt;/div&gt;</oef:FactorsAffectingPerfTextBlock>

In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard &amp;amp; Poor&#x2019;s, Moody&#x2019;s and/or Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund&#x2019;s investment policies. Securities in the &#x201c;unrated&#x201c; category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund&#x2019;s investment policies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-left: 32pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 10pt; text-indent: -5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: smaller; vertical-align: super;display:inline;"&gt;&#x2020;&lt;/span&gt; Includes derivatives.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</oef:HoldingsTableTextBlock>

The U.S. economy remained resilient, though signs of labor market softening led the U.S. Federal Reserve to implement three 25-basis-point rate cuts. Interest rate volatility drove returns while credit spreads remained range-bound. The municipal yield curve remained steep, as demand for shorter maturities was consistently strong. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;The yield curve positioning contributed to excess returns relative to the benchmark (the Bloomberg Municipal Short-Intermediate 1-10 Years Index). The portfolio was able to take advantage of the steep curve and be overweight the more attractive portion while being underweight where valuations were less attractive at the front end. Duration also made a slight positive contribution. Security selection in education and transportation both contributed to returns. The portfolio had a significant overweight to the housing sector that also contributed to relative returns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;There were no relative detractors from security or sector selection.&lt;/div&gt;</oef:FactorsAffectingPerfTextBlock>

In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard &amp;amp; Poor&#x2019;s, Moody&#x2019;s and/or Fitch.

Securities in the &#x201c;unrated&#x201c; category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund&#x2019;s investment policies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-left: 32pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 10pt; text-indent: -5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: smaller; vertical-align: super;display:inline;"&gt;&#x2020;&lt;/span&gt; Includes derivatives.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</oef:HoldingsTableTextBlock>

The U.S. economy remained resilient, though signs of labor market softening led the U.S. Federal Reserve to implement three 25-basis-point rate cuts. Interest rate volatility drove returns while credit spreads remained range-bound. The municipal yield curve remained steep, as demand for shorter maturities was consistently strong. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;The yield curve positioning contributed to excess returns relative to the benchmark (the Bloomberg Municipal Short-Intermediate 1-10 Years Index). The portfolio was able to take advantage of the steep curve and be overweight the more attractive portion while being underweight where valuations were less attractive at the front end. Duration also made a slight positive contribution. Security selection in education and transportation both contributed to returns. The portfolio had a significant overweight to the housing sector that also contributed to relative returns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;There were no relative detractors from security or sector selection.&lt;/div&gt;</oef:FactorsAffectingPerfTextBlock>

In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard &amp;amp; Poor&#x2019;s, Moody&#x2019;s and/or Fitch.

The U.S. economy remained resilient, though signs of labor market softening led the U.S. Federal Reserve to implement three 25-basis-point rate cuts. Interest rate volatility drove returns while credit spreads remained range-bound. The municipal yield curve remained steep, as demand for shorter maturities was consistently strong. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;The yield curve positioning contributed to excess returns relative to the benchmark (the Bloomberg Municipal Short-Intermediate 1-10 Years Index). The portfolio was able to take advantage of the steep curve and be overweight the more attractive portion while being underweight where valuations were less attractive at the front end. Duration also made a slight positive contribution. Security selection in education and transportation both contributed to returns. The portfolio had a significant overweight to the housing sector that also contributed to relative returns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;There were no relative detractors from security or sector selection.&lt;/div&gt;</oef:FactorsAffectingPerfTextBlock>

In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard &amp;amp; Poor&#x2019;s, Moody&#x2019;s and/or Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund&#x2019;s investment policies. Securities in the &#x201c;unrated&#x201c; category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund&#x2019;s investment policies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-left: 32pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 10pt; text-indent: -5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: smaller; vertical-align: super;display:inline;"&gt;&#x2020;&lt;/span&gt; Includes derivatives.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</oef:HoldingsTableTextBlock>

The U.S. economy remained resilient, though signs of labor market softening led the U.S. Federal Reserve to implement three 25-basis-point rate cuts. Interest rate volatility drove returns while credit spreads remained range-bound. The municipal yield curve remained steep, as demand for shorter maturities was consistently strong. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;The yield curve positioning contributed to excess returns relative to the benchmark (the Bloomberg Municipal Short-Intermediate 1-10 Years Index). The portfolio was able to take advantage of the steep curve and be overweight the more attractive portion while being underweight where valuations were less attractive at the front end. Duration also made a slight positive contribution. Security selection in education and transportation both contributed to returns. The portfolio had a significant overweight to the housing sector that also contributed to relative returns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 4.0032pt; margin-left: 0; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.04pt;"&gt;There were no relative detractors from security or sector selection.&lt;/div&gt;</oef:FactorsAffectingPerfTextBlock>

In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard &amp; Poor&#x2019;s, Moody&#x2019;s and/or Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund&#x2019;s investment policies. Securities in the &#x201c;unrated&#x201c; category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund&#x2019;s investment policies.</link:footnote>
