SNIPX Investment Objective and Strategy
Western Asset New York Municipals Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Legg Mason Partners Income Trust.
Investment objective
The fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income tax and New York state and New York City personal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in New York municipal securities. New York municipal securities are securities and other investments with similar economic characteristics the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income tax and New York state and New York City personal income taxes but which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The funds 80% policy may not be changed without a shareholder vote. New York municipal securities include debt obligations issued by the State of New York and its political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, certain other governmental issuers (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam) and other qualifying issuers. These securities include participation or other interests in municipal securities issued or backed by banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions.
Some municipal securities, such as general obligation issues, are backed by the issuers taxing authority, while other municipal securities, such as revenue issues, are backed only by revenues from certain facilities or other sources and not by the issuer itself. The fund focuses on investment grade bonds (that is, securities rated in the Baa/BBB categories or above or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable credit quality by the subadviser), but may invest up to 20% of its assets in below investment grade bonds (commonly known as high yield or junk bonds). The fund may also invest in securities of other open-end or closed-end investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), that invest primarily in municipal securities. Instead of, and/or in addition to, investing directly in particular securities, the fund may use instruments such as derivatives, including options, futures contracts and inverse floating rate instruments issued in tender option bond transactions, and other synthetic instruments that are intended to provide economic exposure to the securities or the issuer or to be used as a hedging technique.
The fund may use one or more types of these instruments without limit, except that these instruments are taken into account when determining compliance with the funds 80% policy. For additional information regarding derivatives, see More on the funds investment strategies, investments and risksDerivatives in the Prospectus. The fund may also engage in a variety of transactions using derivatives in order to change the investment characteristics of its portfolio (such as shortening or lengthening duration) and for other purposes. The fund may leverage its assets by investing proceeds received through tender option bond transactions, which is considered a form of borrowing. See More on the funds investment strategies, investments and risksTender option bonds in the Prospectus. The fund is classified as non-diversified, which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.
