DURHAM, Chief Justice:
¶ 1 Plaintiffs MFS Series Trust III, Merrill Lynch High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Inc., Muniholdings Fund, Inc., Merrill Lynch Municipal Bond Fund, The National Portfolio, Merrill Lynch Municipal Strategy Fund, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc., T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., John Hancock Funds, Inc., and Putnam Investments, Inc. appeal the trial court’s dismissal of their complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. We affirm, because defendants’ minimum contacts with Utah are insufficient for Utah’s courts to exercise jurisdiction over them.
