Shareholder
Letter
Dear
Shareholder:
During
the
six
months
ended
March
31,
2023,
the
U.S.
economy
continued
to
recover
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic
amid
declining
unemployment,
rising
wages
and
higher
personal
consumption.
U.S.
gross
domestic
product
grew
in
2022’s
fourth
quarter
as
increased
consumer
and
government
spending,
higher
inventories
and
strong
nonresidential
fixed
investment
boosted
the
economy.
Although
consumer
spending
continued
to
rise,
deteriorating
financial
conditions
kept
consumer
sentiment
at
historically
low
levels.
Meanwhile,
inflation
showed
signs
of
easing
but
remained
heightened
relative
to
recent
decades,
and
its
path
remains
uncertain.
The
annual
inflation
rate,
as
measured
by
the
consumer
price
index,
declined
to
6%
in
February
2023,
the
lowest
rate
since
September
2021,
as
energy
costs
declined
sharply.
In
an
effort
to
control
inflation,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
raised
the
federal
funds
target
rate
at
all
four
meetings
during
the
six-month
period,
increasing
it
by
a
total
of
1.75%
(from
a
range
of
3.00%–3.25%
to
4.75%–5.00%
by
period-
end).
As
high
inflation
began
to
ease,
the
Fed
stepped
down
the
pace
of
its
interest-rate
hikes
from
75
basis
points
(bps)
at
its
November
2022
meeting
to
50
bps
in
December,
followed
by
25
bps
increases
in
February
and
March
2023.
At
its
March
2023
meeting,
the
Fed
said
it
would
continue
to
reduce
bond
holdings
but
departed
from
previous
statements
by
softening
its
firm
outlook
on
future
rate
hikes.
Additionally,
Fed
Chair
Jerome
Powell
said
the
central
bank
most
likely
would
not
cut
rates
in
2023.
During
the
six-month
period,
municipal
bonds,
as
measured
by
the
Bloomberg
Municipal
Bond
Index,
posted
a
+7.00%
total
return,
influenced
by
increased
investor
demand
so
far
in
2023
coupled
with
a
limited
supply
of
new
bonds.
1
Municipal
bond
fundamentals
remained
strong
due
to
prudent
fiscal
management
by
issuers.
Franklin
New
York
Intermediate-Term
Tax-Free
Income
Fund’s
semiannual
report
includes
more
detail
about
municipal
bond
market
conditions
and
a
discussion
from
the
portfolio
managers.
In
addition,
on
our
website,
franklintempleton.com
,
you
can
find
updated
commentary
by
our
municipal
bond
team.
Municipal
bonds
provide
tax-
free
income
and
often
diversification
from
other
types
of
investments.
Despite
periods
of
volatility,
municipal
bonds
historically
have
had
a
solid
long-term
record
of
performance,
driven
mostly
by
their
compounding
tax-free
income
component.
As
you
know,
all
securities
markets
fluctuate,
as
do
mutual
fund
share
prices.
As
always,
we
recommend
investors
consult
their
financial
professionals
for
up-to-date
advice
on
their
holdings.
In
a
constantly
changing
market
environment,
we
remain
committed
to
our
disciplined
strategy
as
we
manage
the
Fund,
keeping
in
mind
the
trust
you
have
placed
in
us.
We
appreciate
your
confidence
in
us
and
encourage
you
to
contact
us
or
your
financial
professional
when
you
have
questions
about
your
Franklin
tax-free
investment.

Municipal
Bond
Market
Overview
During
the
six
months
ended
March
31,
2023,
inflation
pressures
eased,
though
core
inflation—which
excludes
more
volatile
food
and
energy
prices—remained
higher
than
expected.
After
raising
the
federal
funds
target
rate
range
by
75
basis
points
(bps)
in
November
2022—the
fourth
consecutive
increase
of
this
magnitude—the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
delivered
a
50-bp
hike
in
December
and
two
25-bp
hikes
in
February
and
March
2023.
Uncertainty
about
the
Fed’s
monetary
policy
path
resulted
in
heightened
market
volatility
as
investors
tried
to
assess
the
progress
in
the
fight
against
inflation
and
the
lagged
effect
of
tightening
on
the
economy.
Following
a
very
challenging
first
part
of
2022,
municipal
bonds
(munis)
experienced
positive
absolute
returns
in
the
period
under
review.
Significant
outflows
from
munis
in
late
2022
reversed
in
2023’s
first
quarter
as
investor
demand
picked
up.
As
this
increased
demand
was
met
with
restricted
new
issuance,
technical
conditions
provided
a
tailwind
for
muni
returns.
Moving
into
a
potential
economic
slowdown,
fundamentals
remained
robust
amid
conservative
fiscal
management
by
muni
issuers.
For
the
six-month
period,
U.S.
fixed
income
sectors
underperformed
equities,
as
measured
by
the
Standard
&
Poor’s
®
500
Index,
which
posted
a
+15.62%
total
return.

1.
For
investors
subject
to
alternative
minimum
tax,
a
small
portion
of
the
Fund
dividends
may
be
taxable.
Distributions
of
capital
gains
are
generally
taxable.
To
avoid
impo-
sition
of
28%
backup
withholding
on
all
Fund
distributions
and
redemption
proceeds,
U.S.
investors
must
be
properly
certified
on
Form
W-9
and
non-U.S.
investors
on
Form
W-8BEN.
2.
The
distribution
amount
is
the
sum
of
all
estimated
tax-basis
net
investment
income
distributions
for
the
period
shown.
A
portion
or
all
of
the
distribution
may
be
reclassified
as
return
of
capital
or
short-term
or
long-term
capital
gains
once
final
tax
designations
are
known.
Assumes
shares
were
purchased
and
held
for
the
entire
accrual
period.
Since
dividends
accrue
daily,
your
actual
distributions
will
vary
depending
on
the
date
you
purchased
your
shares
and
any
account
activity.
All
Fund
distributions
will
vary
depending
upon
current
market
conditions,
and
past
distributions
are
not
indicative
of
future
trends.

State
Update
During
the
six-month
period,
New
York’s
large
and
diverse
economy,
which
generates
above-average
income
and
wealth
levels,
slowed
as
rising
interest
rates
and
high
inflation
weakened
economic
activity.
New
York’s
unemployment
rate
began
the
period
at
4.0%
and
ended
at
4.1%,
compared
with
the
3.5%
national
rate.
The
state
has
struggled
to
recover
jobs
lost
during
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Strong
financial
management,
federal
stimulus
aid
and
substantial
tax
collections
increased
New
York’s
resources
enough
to
project
budget
surpluses.
New
York’s
net
tax-supported
debt
was
moderately
high
at
$3,871
per
capita
and
5.1%
of
personal
income,
compared
with
the
$1,179
and
2.1%
national
medians,
respectively.

Independent

agency
Moody’s

from

and
revised
the
outlook
to
stable
from
positive
on
New
York’s
general
obligation
debt
in
April
2022.

Moody’s
rating
reflected
its
view
of
the
state’s
large
and
diverse
economy,
sound
fund
balance
and
liquidity
and
moderate
leverage.
The
rating
also
incorporates
the
risks
associated
with
the
state-run
Metropolitan
Transit
Authority
and
uncertainties
regarding
the
recovery
of
New
York
City,
key
to
the
state’s
economy.
Moody’s
revision
of
its
outlook
to
stable
from
positive
reflects
the
resources
and
budget
management
tools
available
to
the
state
to
align
spending.
Investment
Strategy
We
select
securities
that
we
believe
will
provide
the
best
balance
between
risk
and
return
within
the
Fund’s
range
of
allowable
investments
and
typically
use
a
buy-and-hold
strategy.
This
means
we
generally
hold
securities
in
the
Fund’s
portfolio
for
income
purposes,
rather
than
trading
securities
for
capital
gains,
although
we
may
sell
a
security
at
any
time
if
we
believe
it
could
help
the
Fund
meet
its
goal.
*Does
not
include
cash
and
cash
equivalents.
Manager’s
Discussion
Consistent
with
our
strategy,
we
typically
look
to
construct
a
portfolio
that
maintains
a
dollar-weighted
average
maturity
of
three
to
10
years.
We
believe
our
conservative,
buy-and-hold
investment
strategy
can
help
us
achieve
high,
current,
tax-
free
income
for
shareholders.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
participation
in
Franklin
New
York
Intermediate-Term
Tax-Free
Income
Fund.
We
look
forward
to
serving
your
future
investment
needs.

Summary

franklintempleton.com
Semiannual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Because
municipal
bonds
are
sensitive
to
interest
rate
movements,
the
Fund’s
yield
and
share
price
will
fluctuate
with
market
conditions.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
Thus,
as
prices
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Because
the
Fund
invests
principally
in
a
single
state,
it
is
subject
to
greater
risk
of
adverse
economic
and
regulatory
changes
in
that
state
than
a
geographically
diversified
fund.
Changes
in
the
credit
rating
of
a
bond,
or
in
the
credit
rating
or
financial
strength
of
a
bond’s
issuer,
insurer
or
guarantor,
may
affect
the
bond’s
value.
The
Fund
may
invest
a
significant
part
of
its
assets
in
municipal
securities
that
finance
similar
types
of
projects,
such
as
utilities,
hospitals,
higher
education
and
transportation.
A
change
that
affects
one
project
would
likely
affect
all
similar
projects,
thereby
increasing
market
risk.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.
1.
Gross
expenses
are
the
Fund’s
total
annual
operating
expenses
as
of
the
Fund's
prospectus
available
at
the
time
of
publication.
Net
expenses
are
capped
under
a
contrac-
tual
agreement,
which
cannot
be
terminated
prior
to
1/31/2024
without
Board
consent.
Actual
expenses
may
be
higher
and
may
impact
portfolio
returns.
2.
Cumulative
total
return
represents
the
change
in
value
of
an
investment
over
the
periods
indicated.
3.
Average
annual
total
return
represents
the
average
annual
change
in
value
of
an
investment
over
the
periods
indicated.
Return
for
less
than
one
year,
if
any,
has
not
been
annualized.
4.
Effective
9/10/18,
Class
A
shares
closed
to
new
investors,
were
renamed
Class
A1
shares,
and
a
new
Class
A
share
with
a
different
expense
structure
became
available.
Class
A
performance
shown
has
been
calculated
as
follows:
(a)
for
periods
prior
to
9/10/18,
a
restated
figure
is
used
based
on
the
Fund’s
Class
A1
performance
that
includes
any
Rule
12b-1
rate
differential
that
exists
between
Class
A1
and
Class
A;
and
(b)
for
periods
after
9/10/18,
actual
Class
A
performance
is
used,
reflecting
all
charges
and
fees
applicable
to
that
class.
5.
Distribution
rate
is
based
on
an
annualization
of
the
respective
class’s
March
dividend
and
the
maximum
offering
price
(NAV
for
Advisor
Class)
per
share
on
3/31/23.
6.
Taxable
equivalent
distribution
rate
and
yield
assume
the
published
rates
as
of
12/20/22
for
the
maximum
combined
effective
federal
and
New
York
State
and
City
personal
income
tax
rate
of
55.58%,
based
on
the
federal
income
tax
rate
of
37.00%
plus
3.80%
Medicare
tax.
7.
The
Fund’s
30-day
standardized
yield
is
calculated
over
a
trailing
30-day
period
using
the
yield
to
maturity
on
bonds
and/or
the
dividends
accrued
on
stocks.
It
may
not
equal
the
Fund’s
actual
income
distribution
rate,
which
reflects
the
Fund’s
past
dividends
paid
to
shareholders.
8.
Figures
are
as
stated
in
the
Fund’s
current
prospectus
and
may
differ
from
the
expense
ratios
disclosed
in
the
Your
Fund’s
Expenses
and
Financial
Highlights
sections
in
this
report.
In
periods
of
market
volatility,
assets
may
decline
significantly,
causing
total
annual
Fund
operating
expenses
to
become
higher
than
the
figures
shown.

Semiannual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the
period
indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
182/365
to
reflect
the
one-half
year
period.

Franklin

Intermediate-Term
Tax-Free
Income
Fund
1.
Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Franklin
New
York
Tax-Free
Trust (Trust)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-
end
management
investment
company,
consisting
of
one
fund, Franklin
New
York
Intermediate-Term
Tax-Free
Income
Fund
(Fund).
The
Fund
follows
the
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946,
Financial
Services
–
Investment
Companies
(ASC
946)
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP),
including,
but
not
limited
to,
ASC
946.
The
Fund
offers
five
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
A1,
Class
C,
Class
R6
and
Advisor
Class.
Class
C
shares
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
on
a
monthly
basis,
after
they
have
been
held
for
8
years.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales
load,
contingent
deferred
sales
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees.
The
following
summarizes
the Fund's
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation
The
Fund's
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Trust’s
Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the
Board
has
designated
the
Fund’s
investment
manager
as
the
valuation
designee
and
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation.
The
investment
manager
is
assisted
by
the
Fund’s
administrator
in
performing
this
responsibility,
including
leading
the
cross-
functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value.
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the
over-the-counter
market
rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-
based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value.
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
b.
Securities
Purchased
on
a
Delayed
Delivery
Basis
The
Fund
purchases
securities
on
a
delayed
delivery
basis,
with
payment
and
delivery
scheduled
for
a
future
date.
These
transactions
are
subject
to
market
fluctuations
and
are
subject
to
the
risk
that
the
value
at
delivery
may
be
more
or
less
than
the
trade
date
purchase
price.
Although
the
Fund
will
generally
purchase
these
securities
with
the
intention
of
holding
the
securities,
it
may
sell
the
securities
before
the
settlement
date.
c.
Income
Taxes
It
is the Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. The Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.

Semiannual
Report
Franklin
New
York
Intermediate-Term
Tax-Free
Income
Fund
(continued)
The
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
March
31,
2023,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
d.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Amortization
of
premium
and
accretion
of
discount
on
debt
securities
are
included
in
interest
income.
Dividends
from
net
investment
income
are
normally
declared
daily;
these
dividends
may
be
reinvested
or
paid
monthly
to
shareholders.
Distributions
from
net
realized
capital
gains
and
other
distributions,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
and
net
investment
income,
excluding
class
specific
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Differences
in
per
share
distributions
by
class
are
generally
due
to
differences
in
class
specific
expenses.
e.
Insurance
The
scheduled
payments
of
interest
and
principal
for
each
insured
municipal
security
in
the
Trust
are
insured
by
either
a
new
issue
insurance
policy,
or
a
secondary
insurance
policy.
Depending
on
the
type
of
coverage,
premiums
for
insurance
are
either
added
to
the
cost
basis
of
the
security
or
paid
by
a
third
party.
Insurance
companies
typically
insure
municipal
bonds
that
tend
to
be
of
very
high
quality,
with
the
majority
of
underlying
municipal
bonds
rated
A
or
better.
However,
an
event
involving
an
insurer
could
have
an
adverse
effect
on
the
value
of
the
securities
insured
by
that
insurance
company.
There
can
be
no
assurance
the
insurer
will
be
able
to
fulfill
its
obligations
under
the
terms
of
the
policy.
f.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
g.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Trust
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

Management
Fees
The
Fund
pays
an
investment
management
fee,
calculated
daily
and
paid
monthly,
to
Advisers
based
on
the
month-end
net
assets
of
the
Fund
as
follows:
For
the
period
ended
March
31,
2023,
the
annualized

Under
an
agreement
with
Advisers,

services
to
the
Fund.
The

is
paid
by

based
on
the
Fund's
average
daily
net

and
is
not
an

The
Board
has
adopted

Concentration
of
Risk
The
Fund
invests
a
large
percentage
of
its total
assets
in
obligations
of
issuers
within
New
York.
Such
concentration
may
subject
the
Fund
to
risks
associated
with
industrial
or
regional
matters,
and
economic,
political
or
legal
developments
occurring
within
New
York.
Investments
in
these
securities
are
sensitive
to
interest
rate
changes
and
credit
risk
of
the
issuer
and
may
subject
the
Fund
to
increased
market
volatility.
The
market
for
these
investments
may
be
limited,
which
may
make
them
difficult
to
buy
or
sell.
8.
Credit
Facility
The
Fund,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2.675
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matures
on
February
2,
2024.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated
or
unusually
large
redemption
requests.
Under
the
terms
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
the
Fund
shall,
in
addition
to
interest
charged
on
any
borrowings
made
by
the
Fund
and
other
costs
incurred
by
the
Fund,
pay
its
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based
upon
its
relative
share
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
all
of
the
Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%
based
upon
the
unused
portion
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
These
fees
are
reflected
in
other
expenses
in
the Statement
of
Operations.
During
the
period
ended
March
31,
2023,
the Fund
did
not
use
the
Global
Credit
Facility.

Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level

–
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
