Strategy
Invests at least 80% of net assets in Maryland municipal bonds. The fund’s weighted average maturity will not exceed three years, but there is no maturity limit on individual securities.
Maryland taxpayers who, because of their tax bracket, can benefit from income that is exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes. Not appropriate for tax-deferred retirement plans, such as IRAs. Some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Income earned by non-Maryland residents will be subject to applicable state and local taxes.

The fund offers Maryland investors triple-tax-free income. The fund's focus on short-term securities should keep price fluctuations modest, while offering higher yields and price fluctuation than municipal money market funds and less potential share price fluctuation and lower yields than the T. Rowe Price Maryland Tax-Free Bond Fund.
Yield and share price will vary with interest rate changes. Investors should note that if interest rates rise from current levels, bond fund total returns will decline and may even turn negative in the short term. There is also a chance that some of the fund's holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default. The fund is less diversified than one investing nationally.
