About JCBSX

JPMorgan California Tax Free Bond Fund R6 is an actively managed municipal bond mutual fund focused on providing federally and California state tax‑exempt income to California residents. The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in investment‑grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax, California personal income tax, and the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals, while maintaining moderate interest‑rate sensitivity typical of intermediate muni strategies. Managed within J.P. Morgan’s municipal platform, it emphasizes diversified exposure across California issuers and essential‑service revenue and general obligation bonds, seeking high after‑tax total return consistent with prudent credit selection and duration management. The R6 share class is designed for institutional platforms, featuring a low expense ratio and no distribution fees. With hundreds of holdings and an effective duration around the intermediate range, the fund plays a role in tax‑aware fixed income allocation, offering monthly distributions and potential ballast against equity volatility for investors needing state‑specific tax efficiency.
