Fund Statistics: Inception Date 02/21/95 Ticker Symbol CFNLX Cusip 200626703 Minimum Initial Investment $1,000 Commentary as of 3/31/2009 Hoping to put the turbulent year of 2008 behind us, the first quarter of 2009 was positive for performance in the municipal bond market (“munis”).  Across the entire yield curve, munis were higher in value and lower in yield by anywhere from 20 to 40 basis points.  Overall the curve continues to be very steep, especially on the short end.  We have seen a decent level of liquidity return to the municipal market, which was a driver in bringing lower yielding bonds.  As was the case in 2008, market participants are still in the process of weighing the value added by the monoline insurers.  At this point only a handful of the insurers are writing new business, and it is our contention to avoid new issues with insurance as we feel the premium paid for the insurance is not worth the price.  In the fourth quarter of 2008 we saw a dramatic change in the relationship between munis and US treasury yields.  That relationship continued into the beginning of 2009.  As of the end of the 1st quarter, AAA GO munis had a higher nominal yield than US treasuries across the curve.  On the long end, this relationship was inverted by over 100 basis points for a 30 year bond.  The highest quality municipal borrower was paying tax-free interest rates at higher levels than where the U.S. Government could borrow in the treasury market.  Given this relationship, we believe municipals can present exceptional relative value continuing into 2009.  For the first quarter, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital 3-15 Year Blend Index, and its peers as measured by the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Category 2nd Quartile Total Return Ranking. Our overweight to higher yielding revenue bonds remained a drag on performance, particularly against our benchmark, while a higher concentration in bonds in the best performing maturity range, 10-15 years, helped to offset.  As additional yield offered on lower-rated credits increases, we will look for opportunities to increase our exposure in that space.
