Market

The U.S. bond market experienced significant volatility and a notable increase in yields during the quarter as investors grappled with the economic implications of a prolonged conflict in the Middle East. The Bloomberg California Intermediate Municipal Bond Index returned -0.84% in the first quarter, capped off by a return of -2.89% in March, which was its worst monthly return since 2022. Index yields declined 32 basis points (bps) through February before the sharp reversal in March, which pushed yields higher by 65 bps on the month and 33 bps for the quarter. The increase was most acute in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, leading to a steepening of the yield curve.

Municipal issuance totaled $137 billion in the first quarter of 2026, up 11% from the first quarter of 2025, with March issuance reaching a record of $55 billion. Fund flows stayed firmly positive through March, extending the multi-month streak of inflows. Despite continued investor demand, weaker technicals, due to the pace of new issue supply, exacerbated the increase in yields driven by higher U.S. Treasury yields.

Outlook

Geopolitical uncertainty will likely remain the key driver of the U.S. rates market, as higher oil and energy prices cloud the inflation outlook and increase the ambiguity around future global central bank policy rate adjustments.

We expect the technical backdrop for tax-exempt municipal bonds to stabilize in the second quarter, as higher yields are likely to support investor demand and seasonal factors become more favorable.

Looking ahead, we expect new-issue supply to trend toward $600 billion, marking a second consecutive year of record issuance. Elevated supply should provide investors with periodic buying opportunities, given the currently elevated yields. Investor demand is expected to remain broadly supportive, as municipal fund flows continue to be persistently positive.

Overall, we remain constructive on municipals for the remainder of the year and are positioned with ample liquidity to capitalize on attractive entry points as they arise.

A.

The 30-day SEC yield represents the dividends and interest earned for a 30-day period, annualized, and divided by the net asset values per share at the end of the period. The SEC yield is computed under a standardized formula which assumes all portfolio securities are held to maturity. This value may differ from the actual distribution rate of the Fund.

B.

Represents a 30-day SEC yield without adjusting for fee waivers or expense reimbursements.

C.

Effective duration is a measure of the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

D.

Payden & Rygel has contractually agreed to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver or Expense Reimbursement to 0.45%. This agreement has a one-year term ending February 28, 2027. Please note that the 0.45% expense level does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses.

E.

Morningstar rates funds from one to five stars based on how well their risk-adjusted performance compares to similar funds. Within each Morningstar Category, the top 10% of funds receive five stars, the next 22.5% four stars, the middle 35% three stars, the next 22.5% two stars, and the bottom 10% receive one star. Funds are rated for up to three time periods—three-, five-, and 10 years—and these ratings are combined to produce an overall rating. Funds with less than three years of history are not rated. Ratings are objective, based entirely on a mathematical evaluation of past performance. They’re a useful tool for identifying funds worthy of further research, but shouldn’t be considered buy or sell recommendations. Morningstar does not adjust total returns for sales charges (such as front-end loads, deferred loads, and redemption fees). Total returns do account for the expense ratio, which includes management, administrative, 12b-1 Distribution fees, and other costs that are taken out of assets.

F.

Quoted performance data represent past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so investors' shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For the most recent month-end performance, which may be higher or lower than that quoted, select this link or call 800 572-9336.

G.

Returns less than one year are not annualized.

H.

Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

I.

Mutual funds are required by the IRS to distribute substantially all realized profits they earn to shareholders on at least an annual basis. If a fund has net gains from the sale of securities, or if it earns dividends or interest from securities, the fund must distribute those earnings to its shareholders. All distributions are taxable, unless an investor's shares are held in a tax-deferred or tax-exempt account such as an IRA. Payden shareholders have the option to receive their distributions in cash or to automatically reinvest the distribution back into the Fund. This information is not intended to provide tax advice. Please consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your circumstances. Dividends shown are historical and not guaranteed. Amounts may vary and do not predict future income.

J.

The minimum initial investment may be modified for certain financial intermediaries that submit trades on behalf of underlying investors. Payden Funds’ distributor may lower or waive the minimum initial investment for certain categories of investors at their discretion.

K.

Ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest) and are subject to change. Security ratings are assigned using the highest rating of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch.

For more information and to obtain a prospectus or summary prospectus, select this link or call 800 572-9336. Before investing, investors should consider investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information, which is contained in these documents; read the prospectus carefully before investing.

General Risk Disclosures

Social Impact Investing Risk: The Fund’s policy of investing in municipal securities for which, in the Adviser’s opinion, the proceeds raised are used consistent with positive social and/or environmental practices and outcomes could cause the Fund to perform differently compared to other mutual funds that do not have such a policy. The factors that the Adviser considers in evaluating an investment’s positive social and/or environmental benefits are part of a proprietary security selection methodology and may change over time. There are differences in interpretations of what it means to promote positive social and/or environmental benefits. While the Adviser believes its definitions are reasonable, the portfolio decisions it makes may differ with others’ views.

Interest Rate Risk: As with most funds that invest in debt securities, the income on and value of your shares in the Fund will fluctuate along with interest rates. When interest rates rise, the market prices of the debt securities the Fund owns usually decline. When interest rates fall, the prices of these securities usually increase.

High-Yield Securities Risk: Investment in high-yield securities entails certain risks from investing in investment-grade securities, including higher volatility, greater credit risk, and the issues’ more speculative nature.

Tax Risk: Income from municipal securities may be subject to the Federal alternative minimum tax.
