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 December 31, 2010, 84.3% 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 35.0% of total investments.
         
(1)       Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.

The effective date represents the date on which the Fund and the counterparty to the interest rate swap contract begin interest payment accruals.
 
At December 31, 2010, 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 objectives. Because the Fund holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Fund enters into interest rate swap contracts. The Fund also purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
 
At December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in an asset position and in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $23,725 and $607, respectively.
 
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at December 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
 
         
Aggregate cost
  $ 32,989,561  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
  $ 1,210,499  
Gross unrealized depreciation
    (1,695,683 )
         
Net unrealized depreciation
  $ (485,184 )
         
 
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.

The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of September 30, 2010 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At December 31, 2010, the value of investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, during the fiscal year to date then ended was not significant.
