The Trust 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 February 28, 2014, 30.7% 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 or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 2.3% to 11.2% of total investments.

A summary of open financial instruments at February 28, 2014 is as follows:
Futures Contracts

Unrealized Depreciation |

| 6/14 | 14 U.S. Long Treasury Bond | Short | $ | (1,836,709 | ) | $ | (1,862,875 | ) | $ | (26,166 | ) | |||||
At February 28, 2014, the Trust had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Trust is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Trust holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Trust purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
At February 28, 2014, the aggregate fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk was $26,166.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Trust at February 28, 2014, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| Aggregate cost |
$ | 43,958,397 | ||
|
|
|
|||
| Gross unrealized appreciation |
$ | 1,881,853 | ||
| Gross unrealized depreciation |
(595,917 | ) | ||
|
|
|
|||
| Net unrealized appreciation |
$ | 1,285,936 | ||
|
|
|
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.
At February 28, 2014, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
| Tax-Exempt Investments |
$ | — | $ | 45,244,333 | $ | — | $ | 45,244,333 | ||||||||

| Total |
$ | (26,166 | ) | $ | – | $ | — | $ | (26,166 | ) | ||||||
The Trust held no investments or other financial instruments as of November 30, 2013 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At February 28, 2014, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the fiscal year to date then ended.
For information on the Trust’s policy regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trust’s most recent financial statements included in its semiannual or annual report to shareholders.
