Trust Overview
Performance
|
For the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, the Trust returned 9.09% based on market price and 8.84% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 5.65% based on market price and 7.38% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The Trusts discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
|
The Trust benefited from income generated in the form of coupon payments from its portfolio of municipal bond holdings. In addition, the Funds use of leverage provided both incremental return and income in an environment of declining interest rates. (Bond prices rise as yields fall). The Trusts positioning with respect to duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) helped performance. The Trusts positioning along the yield curve, which favored longer-dated bonds, also aided performance as longer-dated bonds generally outperformed those with shorter maturities. Bonds rated in the mid-investment grade category contributed significantly to returns, followed by more highly-rated bonds. Concentrations in the tax-backed, health care and transportation sectors also were among the leading contributors to performance. |
|
In the strong market environment, there were no material detractors from the Trusts performance during the period. |

Concentrations in the utilities, health care, transportation, tax-backed and corporate-related sectors also were among the leading contributors to performance. |

The Trust maintained a short position in U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage interest rate risk. With interest rates falling during the period, as prices rose, this position had a small negative impact on performance. |

The Trusts discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
|
The Trust benefited from income generated in the form of coupon payments from its portfolio of municipal bond holdings. In addition, the Trusts use of leverage provided both incremental return and income in an environment of declining interest rates. (Bond prices rise when rates fall.) The Trusts positioning with respect to duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) helped performance. Its positioning along the yield curve, which favored longer-dated bonds, also aided performance as longer-dated bonds generally outperformed those possessing shorter maturities. Investment grade bonds represent the bulk of the Trusts holdings, which contributed significantly to overall results. Concentrations in the health care, education, tax-backed and transportation sectors were among the top contributors to performance. |
|
The Trust maintained a short position in U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage interest rate risk. With interest rates falling during the period, as prices rose, this position had a small negative impact on performance. | |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial
instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instruments is not necessarily an indication of the risks
associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated
inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of
investments and derivative financial instruments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer
to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial
instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the
risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of
investments and derivative financial instruments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer
Note 2 of Note to Financial Statements. |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation
techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments
categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure
purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an
indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the
ability to access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. |
||||
For
information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes
to Financial Statements |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation
techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments
categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure
purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an
indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the
ability to access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. |

| For Trust compliance purposes, the Trusts sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications
used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by the investment advisor. These definitions may not
apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation
techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments
categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure
purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an
indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the
ability to access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial
Statements. |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial
instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the
risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the
ability to access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the
Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the
reporting period. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer
to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |
