The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund's current performance may be lower or higher than that shown.

Performance data includes the performance of a common trust fund for the period prior to its consolidation with the National Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund on October 18, 2002. Fixed Income Indices measure monthly returns representative of the bond market, and are calculated on a month-end basis.
Risk Considerations
The Fund is subject to the same risks as the underlying bonds in the portfolio such as credit, prepayment and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise the value of bond prices will decline and an investor may lose money. Investors should note that the portfolio managers will invest at least 80% of the Fund's assets in bonds that pay interest exempt from federal income tax and for some, the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) but under certain conditions income may be subject to AMT tax and federal income taxes.

Risk/Rewards Definitions
Alpha measures the difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk (as measured by beta). Alpha is often seen as a measure of the value added or subtracted by a portfolio manager.
Beta is a measure of a fund's sensitivity to market movements. A portfolio with a beta greater than 1 is more volatile than the market, and a portfolio with a beta less than 1 is less volatile than the market.
R-Squared reflects the percentage of a fund's movements that are explained by movements in its benchmark index, showing the degree of correlation between the fund and the benchmark. This figure is also helpful in assessing how likely it is that alpha and beta are statistically significant.
Standard deviation is a statistical concept used in investment management to measure risk for the variability of return of a fund’s performance. A higher standard deviation represents greater risk.
