C000060576 Investment Objective and Strategy
Putnam Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Income Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Putnam Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Income Fund.
Investment objective
Putnam Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Income Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and Pennsylvania personal income tax as we believe is consistent with preservation of capital.
Principal investment strategy
We invest mainly in bonds that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax and Pennsylvania personal income tax (but that may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax (AMT)), are investment-grade in quality, and have intermediate- to long-term maturities ( i.e., three years or longer). Under normal circumstances, we invest at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in tax-exempt investments. Such tax-exempt investments in which the fund invests are issued by or for states, territories or possessions of the United States or by their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or other government entities, and the income from these investments is exempt from both federal and Pennsylvania personal income tax. This investment policy cannot be changed without the approval of the fund’s shareholders.
We may consider, among other factors, credit, interest rate and prepayment risks, as well as general market conditions, when deciding whether to buy or sell investments.
