The fund uses leverage through remarketable variable rate munifund term preferred shares and tender option bonds, with RVMTP representing 32.62% and self-deposited inverse floaters 5.83% of total assets. Leverage and longer duration positioning aided relative performance in a year of generally declining interest rates.
