For the Reporting Period Ended April 30, 2015
For the same 12-month period, total new issuance remained relatively strong from a historical perspective at $387 billion (considerably higher than the $302 billion issued in the prior 12-month period). A noteworthy portion (roughly 60%) of new supply during this period was attributable to refinancing activity as issuers took advantage of low interest rates and a flatter yield curve to reduce their borrowing costs.
S&P Municipal Bond Index Total Returns as of April 30, 2015 6 months: 1.27% 12 months: 4.86% |
From April 30, 2014 to April 30, 2015, yields on AAA-rated 30-year
municipal bonds decreased by 44 basis points (bps) from 3.49% to 3.05%, while 10-year rates decreased 18 bps from 2.30% to 2.12% and 5-year
rates increased 7 bps from 1.23% to 1.30% (as measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data). Overall, the municipal yield curve remained relatively steep
over the 12-month period even as the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities flattened by 62 bps and the spread between 2- and 10-year maturities
flattened by 36 bps.

Trust Overview
Performance
|
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2015, the Trust returned 11.52% based on market price and 11.43% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 11.00% based on market price and 9.96% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The Trusts discount to NAV, which narrowed slightly during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. |
|
Municipal bonds generated positive performance during the 12-month period, as the combination of falling U.S. Treasury yields and strengthening municipal finances fueled healthy investor demand. (Bond prices rise when rates fall.) The yield curve flattened during the period, with longer-term bonds generally outperforming shorter-term issues. Higher-rated bonds, while delivering positive absolute performance, lagged the return of lower-rated issues. |
|
In the environment of declining yields, the Trusts holdings in longer-duration and longer-dated bonds tended to provide the strongest returns. (Duration is a measure of interest-rate sensitivity.) The Trusts allocations to the tax-backed (states, local and school districts), health care and transportation sectors made positive contributions to performance. The Trusts positions in lower-coupon and zero-coupon bonds, which outperformed the overall market, also benefited returns. |
|
At a time in which lower-rated debt outperformed, the Trusts positions in higher-yielding and lower investment-grade credits generated the best returns. The Trusts positions in high-quality pre-refunded bonds also made a positive contribution to performance. |
|
Income in the form of coupon payments made up a meaningful portion of the Trusts total return for the period. In addition, the Trusts use of leverage provided both incremental return and income at a time of declining interest rates. |
|
There were no material detractors from the Trusts performance during the period. |

Trust Overview
Performance
|
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2015, the Trust returned 1.90% based on market price and 4.67% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 6.81% based on market price and 7.02% based on NAV. The Trust is scheduled to terminate on or about December 31, 2020, which requires the Trust to invest in bonds that mature near that scheduled termination date. In contrast, the Trusts Lipper peer group includes funds that generally have longer durations than the Trust. Therefore, declining yields had a greater benefit to funds with longer durations and exposure further out on the yield curve. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The Trust moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. |
|
Municipal bonds generated positive performance during the 12-month period, as the combination of falling U.S. Treasury yields and strengthening municipal finances fueled healthy investor demand. (Bond prices rise when rates fall.) The yield curve flattened during the period, with longer-term bonds generally outperforming shorter-term issues. Higher-rated bonds, while delivering positive absolute performance, lagged the return of lower-rated issues. |
|
In the environment of declining yields, the Trusts duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate movements) contributed positively to performance. The Trusts positions in zero-coupon bonds, which generated stronger price performance than current coupon bonds, also benefited returns. Positions in the transportation, corporate, health care and utilities sectors were among the top contributors to performance. |
|
Income in the form of coupon payments made up a meaningful portion of the Trusts total return for the period. In addition, the Trusts use of leverage provided both incremental return and income at a time of declining interest rates |

There were no material detractors from the Trusts absolute performance during the period. |

1 | For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&Ps or Moodys if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |
2 | The investment advisor evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and individual investments. Using this approach, the investment advisor has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of April 30, 2015 and April 30, 2014, the market value of unrated securities deemed by the investment advisor to be investment grade each represents 1%, respectively, of the Trusts total investments. |

Trust Overview
Performance
|
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2015, the Trust returned 12.54% based on market price and 11.50% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 11.00% based on market price and 9.96% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The Trusts discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. |
|
Municipal bonds generated positive performance during the 12-month period, as the combination of falling U.S. Treasury yields and strengthening municipal finances fueled healthy investor demand. (Bond prices rise when rates fall.) The yield curve flattened during the period, with longer-term bonds generally outperforming shorter-term issues. Higher-rated bonds, while delivering positive absolute performance, lagged the return of lower-rated issues. |
|
Income in the form of coupon payments made up a meaningful portion of the Trusts total return for the period. In addition, the Trusts use of leverage provided both incremental return and income in an environment of declining interest rates. The Trusts positioning with respect to duration (sensitivity to interest rate movements) helped performance. The Trusts positioning along the yield curve, which favored longer-dated bonds, also aided performance as longer-dated bonds generally delivered higher returns than those with shorter maturities. |
|
Positions in lower-rated investment-grade bonds contributed to performance, as did the Trusts exposure to the lower end of the credit spectrum (non-investment grade and unrated securities). Lower-rated bonds generated both attractive income and strong price appreciation during the period. |
|
Concentrations in the transportation, health care and utilities sectors were among the top contributors to performance. |
|
There were no material detractors from the Trusts performance during the period. |

1 | Yield on closing market price is calculated by dividing the current annualized distribution per share by the closing market price. Past performance does not guarantee future results. |
2 | Tax equivalent yield assumes the maximum marginal federal tax rate of 43.4%, which includes the 3.8% Medicare tax. Actual tax rates will vary based on income, exemptions and deductions. Lower taxes will result in lower tax equivalent yields. |
3 | The distribution rate is not constant and is subject to change. |
4 | Represents VMTP Shares and TOB Trusts as a percentage of total managed assets, which is the total assets of the Trust, including any assets attributable to VMTP Shares and TOB Trusts, minus the sum of accrued liabilities. For a discussion of leveraging techniques utilized by the Trust, please see The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging on page 5. |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial
instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the
risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the
ability to access |
||||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
||||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In
accordance with the Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of
the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial
instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |
