Tax-Exempt Income Strategy Drives Municipal Fund Appeal
All four Invesco funds seek to provide income generally exempt from federal taxes. VPV specifically targets Pennsylvania state tax-exempt income for residents. The funds hold municipal securities issued by public agencies and political subdivisions. This structure makes them attractive to investors in higher tax brackets seeking to reduce their tax liability while earning steady dividend income.
