Why invest in this Fund?

The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal and New Jersey personal income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal and New Jersey personal income taxes.

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in investment grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by the manager. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade ("high yield" or "junk" bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by the manager.

Yield fluctuates and past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The SEC 30-day Yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the period (calculated in accordance with regulatory guidelines) by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.

Unsubsidized yield displays what the fund's 30-Day SEC Yield would have been had no fee waiver or expense reimbursement been in place during the period.

The taxable-equivalent yield is the return that a taxable bond fund needs to possess for its yield to equal the yield on a comparable tax-exempt bond fund, such as a municipal bond fund.

Tax rates are subject to change; please consult with your financial or tax professional for information concerning your specific situation.

* Based on maximum combined federal, state and Medicare tax of 51.55%. Other taxes not included.

Portfolio Turnover Rate - It is a measure of how quickly securities in a fund are either bought or sold by the fund's managers, over a given period of time.

Average Effective Maturity (AEM) - is a measure of maturity that takes into account the possibility that a bond might be called back by the issuer. For a portfolio of bonds, average effective maturity is the weighted average of the maturities of the underlying bonds.

Average Effective Duration - It is used to measure the market price sensitivity of the fund’s portfolio holdings to changes in interest-rates. Duration is not a complete measure of bond risk and may not be successful.

Yield To Worst - The holding-weighted average rate of return for a portfolio equal to the discount rate of interest and principal cash flows where the principal is returned at the earliest allowable date. If the earliest return of principal is at the stated maturity the Yield to Maturity % will be the same as the Yield to Worst %.

        Main Risks

        Bonds are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, call and market risks, to varying degrees. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes and rate increases can cause price declines.
        Municipal income may be subject to state and local taxes for out-of-state residents. Some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

        Risk Metrics

        As of  07/31/25  3-Year Trailing Standard Deviation Alpha Beta R-Squared Sharpe Ratio
        DRNJX
        6.81 -0.66 0.98 98.57 -0.55

        All risk metrics are provided by Morningstar. The index used in the calculations are determined by Morningstar which may not be the funds primary benchmark. The index Morningstar used for this analysis is Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index.


        Alpha - Alpha is a measure of a security's or portfolio's excess return.

        Beta - Beta is a measure of a security’s or portfolio’s volatility, or systematic risk.

        R-Squared - R-squared is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund’s or security’s movements that are explained by movements in a benchmark index.

        Sharpe Ratio - Sharpe ratio is a risk-adjusted measure that measures reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better.

        Standard Deviation - Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the degree to which an individual portfolio return tends to vary from the mean, based on the entire population. The greater the degree of dispersion, the greater the degree of risk. In mutual funds, the standard deviation tells us how much the return on the fund is deviating from the expected normal returns.
