About PTXFX

Pacific Capital Tax‑Free Securities Fund Class Y is an open‑end municipal bond fund designed to deliver high current income that is exempt from U.S. federal and Hawaii state income taxes. The strategy primarily invests in investment‑grade municipal securities, typically maintaining an intermediate interest‑rate profile with portfolio durations around four to six years, aligning with average maturities of roughly five to twelve years. The fund normally commits at least 80% of assets to tax‑exempt bonds, focusing on state and local issuers that finance essential public projects across sectors such as education, transportation, utilities, and healthcare. Its role in the market is to provide a tax‑efficient income stream for investors subject to federal and Hawaii taxation, while offering diversified exposure to the municipal market relative to single‑issuer bonds. The Class Y share class emphasizes cost efficiency, featuring a low stated expense structure and no front‑ or back‑end sales loads, which can be important for preserving net income in a tax‑exempt strategy. Morningstar coverage and category comparisons position it within the national municipal intermediate cohort for performance context and risk assessment.
