Tax-Advantaged Municipal Closed-End Portfolio, Series 62
Americans deal with a number of different taxes in their everyday lives, perhaps none more noticeable
than individual income taxes. In fact, individual income taxes comprise the largest component of
Americans’ tax bill. Tax Freedom Day is the day on which Americans have earned enough money to pay all
federal, state and local taxes for the year. On average, Americans had to work a full 42 days in 2019 just
to earn enough money to pay for these taxes.1


Closed-End Features
Portfolio Control
Since closed-end funds maintain a relatively fixed pool of investment capital,
portfolio managers are better able to adhere to their investment philosophies
through greater flexibility and control. In addition, closed-end funds don't
have to manage fund liquidity to meet potentially large redemptions.
Income Distributions
Closed-end funds are structured to generally provide a more stable income stream
than other managed fixed-income investment products because they are not subjected
to cash inflows and outflows, which can dilute dividends over time. However,
as a result of bond calls, redemptions and advanced refundings, which can dilute
a fund's income, the portfolio cannot guarantee consistent income. Although
the portfolio's objective seeks monthly tax-free income, there is no assurance
the objective will be met.
Portfolio Objective
This unit investment trust seeks monthly
income that is exempt from federal income
taxes and to reduce exposure to AMT by
investing in a diversified pool of closed-end
funds that invest in tax-exempt municipal
bonds. It is important to note that certain
distributions paid by certain funds may be
subject to federal income taxes and AMT.

Risk Considerations
An investment in this unmanaged unit investment trust should
be made with an understanding of the risks associated with an
investment in a portfolio of closed-end funds which invest in
municipal bonds.
Closed-end funds are subject to various risks, including
management’s ability to meet the fund’s investment objective,
and to manage the fund’s portfolio when the underlying
securities are redeemed or sold, during periods of market
turmoil and as investors’ perceptions regarding the funds or
their underlying investments change. Unlike open-end funds,
which trade at prices based on a current determination of the
fund’s net asset value, closed-end funds frequently trade at a
discount to their net asset value in the secondary market. All of
the closed-end funds employ the use of leverage, which
increases the volatility of such funds.
All of the closed-end funds invest in investment grade securities. Investment grade securities are subject to numerous risks including higher interest rates, economic recession, deterioration of the investment grade security
market or investors’ perception thereof, possible downgrades and defaults of interest and/or principal.
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.
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.
The COVID-19 global pandemic has resulted in major disruptions to economies and markets around the
world. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and severe losses, negatively impacting global
economic growth prospects. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined
with certainty and may exacerbate other political, social and economic risks.
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. The markets for credit
instruments, including municipal securities, have experienced
periods of extreme illiquidity and volatility.
It is important to note that an investment can be made in the
underlying funds directly rather than through the trust. These
direct investments can be made without paying the trust’s sales
charge, operating expenses and organizational costs.
For a discussion of additional risks of investing in the trust see
the "Risk Factors" section of the prospectus.
