The portfolio is diversified across more than 50 municipal issuers, with holdings in sectors such as general obligation, school district, and essential purpose revenue bonds. The fund typically holds intermediate to longer-term securities, maintaining a weighted average portfolio maturity of 7 to 12 years and focusing on bonds with maturities from 1 to 20 years. Through an active management approach, the fund considers regional economic trends, interest rate movements, and credit risk to inform portfolio construction. Its disciplined, value-oriented investment strategy seeks to identify securities that meet stringent credit and valuation criteria, helping to ensure high credit quality and broad sector exposure across the Kansas municipal bond market.
