TWNXX Investment Objective and Strategy
T. Rowe Price Maryland Tax-Free Money Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by T. Rowe Price State Tax-Free Funds, Inc..
Investment objective
The fund seeks to provide preservation of capital, liquidity, and, consistent with these objectives, the highest level of income exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes.
Principal investment strategy
Effective August 1, 2026, the T. Rowe Price Maryland Tax-Free Money Fund will change its name to the T. Rowe Price Maryland Municipal Money Fund. The fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in Maryland municipal securities, and normally at least 80% of the funds income is expected to be exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes. Subject to shareholder approval, the funds Board of Directors has approved changing the funds 80% investment policy and related policy to invest at least 65% of total assets in Maryland municipal securities to the following: The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal money market securities whose income is exempt from regular federal and Maryland state income taxes. If approved by shareholders, the new 80% investment policy is expected to become effective on August 1, 2026.
The fund is a retail money market fund managed in compliance with Rule 2a -7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The securities purchased by the fund are subject to the maturity, credit quality, diversification, liquidity, and other requirements of Rule 2a-7. All securities purchased by the fund present minimal credit risk in the opinion of T. Rowe Price. The fund is managed to provide a stable share price of $1.00 by investing in high-quality U.S. dollar-denominated municipal money market securities. Money market securities are generally high-quality, short-term obligations issued by companies or governmental entities. The funds weighted average maturity will not exceed 60 calendar days, the funds weighted average life will not exceed 120 calendar days, and the fund will not purchase any security with a remaining maturity longer than 397 calendar days (unless otherwise permitted by Rule 2a-7, such as certain variable and floating rate instruments).
The fund also has a policy that up to 20% of the funds income could be derived from securities subject to the alternative minimum tax. Subject to shareholder approval, the funds Board of Directors has approved eliminating this policy. If approved by shareholders, the elimination of the alternative minimum tax policy is expected to become effective on August 1, 2026. Because the change to the funds 80% investment policy and elimination of the alternative minimum tax policy require shareholder approval to become effective, the changes are being proposed for approval at a special shareholder meeting scheduled for June 25, 2026. All shareholders who held shares of the fund at the close of business on March 27, 2026, are eligible to vote on the proposed changes. The proposed changes are intended to provide the fund with greater long-term flexibility in executing its investment program, align the policies with the funds new name, and reduce potential compliance risks for the fund, although the changes are not expected to substantially affect the way the fund is currently managed.
Proxy materials for the special shareholder meeting describe the proposed changes and the rationale in greater detail. If either proposed change is not approved by shareholders, the name change will still become effective on August 1, 2026. In selecting securities for the fund, the portfolio manager may examine relationships among yields of various types and maturities of money market securities in the context of interest rate outlooks. The funds yield will fluctuate with changes in short-term interest rates. In addition to investing in state and local general obligation bonds, the fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in sectors with special risks, such as health care, transportation, and utilities, as well as private activity bonds (including industrial revenue bonds), which are municipal bonds issued by a government agency on behalf of a private sector company and, in most cases, are not backed by the credit of the issuing municipality.
It is possible that 25% or more of the funds assets could be invested in municipal securities that would tend to respond similarly to particular economic or political developments. For example, the fund may invest in securities of issuers whose revenues are generated from similar types of projects or operate in similar industries. The fund may at times invest more than 25% of its net assets overall in industrial revenue bonds, but investments in industrial revenue bonds related to the same industry may not exceed 25% of the funds net assets. Bonds that are refunded with escrowed U.S. government securities are not subject to the 25% limitation. Refunded bonds may have originally been issued as general obligation or revenue bonds, but become refunded when they are secured by an escrow fund, usually consisting entirely of direct U.S.
government obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, and/or cash. Due to fluctuations in the availability of suitable Maryland municipal securities or other reasons, the fund may invest in other municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal but not Maryland income taxes. While efforts will be made to minimize such investments, they could comprise up to 10% of the funds annual income.
