The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by Michigan municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at June 30, 2012, 69.2% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 1.4% to 31.1% of total investments.

 

(1) When-issued security.

 

(2) Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover payable for when-issued securities.

A summary of open financial instruments at June 30, 2012 is as follows:

Futures Contracts

 

Expiration
Month/Year
  

Contracts

   Position    Aggregate Cost     Value     Net Unrealized
Depreciation
 
9/12    5 U.S. 30-Year Treasury Bond    Short    $     (739,241   $     (739,844   $     (603

At June 30, 2012, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Fund holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Fund purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.

At June 30, 2012, the aggregate fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $603.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at June 30, 2012, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

Aggregate cost

   $     33,248,695   
  

 

 

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

   $ 2,977,971   

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (164,050
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 2,813,921   
  

 

 

 

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At June 30, 2012, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description    Level 1     Level 2      Level 3      Total  

Tax-Exempt Investments

   $      $ 36,062,616       $       $ 36,062,616   

Total Investments

   $      $     36,062,616       $       $     36,062,616   
Liability Description                               

Futures Contracts

   $     (603   $       $     —       $ (603

Total

   $ (603   $       $       $ (603

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of September 30, 2011 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At June 30, 2012, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the fiscal year to date then ended.

For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial statements included in its semiannual or annual report to shareholders.
