American Century California High-Yield Municipal is run by seasoned managers using improved tools. Nevertheless, its compact analyst team and straightforward process have not produced a clear advantage and warrant a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Neutral for most of its share classes and a Negative for its most expensive shares.
