Risk Considerations
Unit investment trusts are designed to be held until trust termination. If redeemed early, additional fees, such as remaining deferred sales charges, will be assessed.
Buy & Hold Risk – Tax-Free Trusts. This UIT is a buy and hold strategy and investors should consider their ability to hold the trust until maturity.
Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular security, or units of a trust in general may fall in value. Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by such factors as general economic conditions, political events, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates, and perceived trends in securities prices. Units of a trust could decline in value or underperform other investments as a result. In addition, local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious disease or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters, or other events could have significant negative impact on a trust.
Municipal Bonds Risk. Municipal bonds are subject to numerous risks, including higher interest rates, economic recession, deterioration of the municipal bond market, possible downgrades and defaults of interest and/or principal.
Volatility Risk. The value of the securities held by the trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers.
Operational Risk. As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the trust has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cybersecurity.
Income distributions per unit will vary with changes in interest received on the underlying bonds and with changes in the trust's fees and expenses. Generally, as bonds in the portfolio mature or are redeemed by the issuer, income distributions per unit will decrease. Principal distributions per unit will be made only when the trust receives principal cash, generally from bonds maturing or proceeds from bond calls, and therefore will vary. With the exception of zero coupon bonds, bonds are generally callable at par value, or possibly, at a premium over par. Zero coupon bonds are generally callable at their accreted value on the call date or, possibly, at a premium over such accreted value. Both income and principal distributions may be affected by the sale of bonds in the portfolio. Refer to the prospectus for a further discussion of the factors which could affect income and principal distributions.
