DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers to
borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or
variable rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity.
Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current
interest, but are purchased at a discount from their face values. In
general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall, and vice versa. Debt
securities have varying degrees of quality and varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Longer-term bonds are generally
more sensitive to interest rate changes than short-term bonds.
Investment-grade debt securities are medium- and high-quality securities.
Some, however, may possess speculative characteristics, and may be more
sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial condition of
issuers.
RESTRICTIONS: Spartan Florida Municipal Income normally invests in
investment-grade securities, but reserves the right to invest up to 5% of
its assets in below investment-grade securities (sometimes called
"municipal junk bonds"). A security is considered to be investment-grade if
it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investors Service, Standard &
Poor's, Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co., or Fitch Investors Service, L.P.,
or is unrated but judged by FMR to be of equivalent quality.
