Fund overview
DTF Tax-Free Income, Inc. (the "Fund") was organized in November, 1991 and is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is current income exempt from regular federal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital. The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily (at least 80% of its total assets) in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade tax-exempt obligations.
The Fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets (taken at market value at the time of each investment) in the securities of issuers in a single industry; provided that, for purposes of this restriction, tax exempt securities of issuers that are states, municipalities or their political subdivisions are not considered to be the securities of issuers in any single industry.
As of January 31, 2012, the Fund has outstanding $65 million preferred stock. The existence of leverage involves certain risks for common shareholders, including higher volatility of both net asset value and market value of the common stock.
Shares of closed-end investment companies such as the Fund trade in the market above, at, and below net asset value. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund's net asset value could decline. The Fund is not able to predict whether its shares will trade above, below, or at net asset value.
