About COEAX

Columbia Oregon Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund Class A is a single-state municipal bond mutual fund focused on generating a high level of income that is exempt from federal and Oregon state income taxes. The strategy invests at least 80% of net assets in municipal securities issued by Oregon and its local authorities, typically emphasizing investment‑grade bonds across sectors such as healthcare, water and sewer systems, transportation, and regional infrastructure. The portfolio’s intermediate interest‑rate profile targets a duration generally aligned with four to six years, fitting the muni single‑state intermediate category’s balance between income stability and rate sensitivity. The fund may also hold select securities from U.S. territories whose interest is generally state tax‑exempt, enhancing diversification within the tax‑advantaged universe. Managed by Columbia Management Advisors since its inception lineage dating to 1984, the fund distributes dividends monthly and capital gains, if any, annually. Its role in the market is to provide Oregon-focused taxpayers with a vehicle for tax‑exempt income while channeling capital to essential public projects across the state.
