Lebenthal Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund

What Set's Us Apart

Keeping up with an ever-changing Municipal landscape

Experience

We have over 57 years of combined industry experience.  That means we've observed the muni and credit markets through several business cycles as well as myriad economic conditions (high and low periods of inflation, employment, GDP, personal income tax rates) and events (war, subprime mortgage crisis, pandemic, oil bust, S&L crisis, municipal insurer insolvency.)  This experience puts us "on guard" to be mindful of potential risks.


Broad network and hard work ethic to seek out opportunities

The early bird gets the worm, especially when hunting on wider soil.  We've cultivated many relationships throughout the street to show us opportunities.  And knowing good values often don't present themselves for very long, we're up early and working hard to identify securities we consider to possess very favorable risk/return characteristics.  (Rob hasn't seen the competition on the 6:20am train to our offices on his morning commute.)

Fixed income investments are affected by a number of risks, including fluctuation in interest rates, credit risk, and prepayment risk. In general, as prevailing interest rates rise, fixed income prices will fall. The fund may invest in municipal securities, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. After the fund buys a security, the IRS may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable. The risk of municipal securities generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer.
Investments in the Fund are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of some or all of the principal amount invested. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful in meeting its investment objective. Generally, the Fund will be subject to the following additional risks: market risk, management style risk, sector focus risk, foreign securities risk, non-diversified fund risk, portfolio turnover risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, maturity risk, investment grade securities risk, junk bonds or lower-rated securities risk, derivative instruments risk, valuation risks for non-exchange traded options, and real estate securities risk. More information about these risks and other risks can be found in the Fund’s prospectus.

100% INVESTMENT GRADE PURCHASE

FROM THE PROSPECTUS:

“The securities in which the Fund invests must, at the time of investment, be rated as investment grade, as determined by the various rating agencies, or if unrated, of comparable quality as determined by the Advisor. Investment grade securities carry a minimum rating of Baa3, BBB–, or BBB– by Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (Moody’s), S&P Global Ratings (S&P), or Fitch Ratings, Inc. (Fitch), respectively, or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). A security’s quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality such that subsequently they would be deemed to be below investment grade. If a security’s credit rating is downgraded after the Fund’s investment, the Advisor will monitor the situation to decide if the Fund needs to take any action. The Fund may choose to retain or sell securities that are downgraded or decline in credit quality to below investment grade.”
