Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions. Investors may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • Investments in high-yield ("junk") bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. • Financially material environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) characteristics are one of several factors that may be considered and as a result, the investment process may not work as intended.

Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
