Index Key Points

ICE Long AMT-Free Broad National Municipal Transition Index (MLBT):

The Fund is expected to begin tracking the ICE Long AMT-Free Broad National Municipal Transition Index (the "Long Index") on or around March 1, 2022. The Long Index is an interim index that gradually increases exposure to securities based on their weightings in the ICE Long AMT-Free Broad National Municipal Index (the "Final Long Index") while proportionally reducing exposure to certain component securities of the Bloomberg AMT-Free Long Continuous Municipal Index. The Fund is expected to begin tracking the Final Long Index on December 1, 2022.


The Final Long Index tracks the performance of long maturity U.S. dollar denominated investment grade tax-exempt debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market by U.S. states and territories as well as their political subdivisions. Qualifying securities must be exempt from Federal taxes and must not be subject to alternative minimum tax. In addition, qualifying securities must have at least 17 years remaining term to final maturity, a fixed coupon schedule (including zero coupon and step up or stepdown bonds) and an investment grade rating (based on the middle rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch).
