☆ There's still plenty of 'meat on the bone' in municipal bonds, Vanguard portfolio manager says

So that's why I say there's plenty of meat left on the bone for investing in credit munis," McFee said. Sector outlook Municipal bond funds buy and hold fixed income instruments issued by state and local governments or related entities. Over the past month, major index funds iShares National Muni Bond ETF (MUB) and Vanguard Tax-Exempt Bond ETF (VTEB) have raked in about $2.2 billion of combined inflows, according to FactSet. The big iShares and Vanguard muni funds have each returned about 1.7%, year to date, compared with 1.6% for the iShares Core U.S. And Vanguard is not the only asset manager pushing new muni funds into the market.

☆ Closed-end funds can generate income – and they’re cheap. Here’s how they might fit in your portfolio
  + stars: | 2023-11-09 | by ( Darla Mercado | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Closed-end funds offer a fixed number of shares, but they also trade publicly on exchanges. Right now, a confluence of events is resulting in some sharp discounts for closed-end funds, especially for those that hold bonds. Investors in closed-end funds have shed some of those holdings and that's resulting in sharper discounts to net asset value. Closed-end fund plays Financial advisors have called out closed-end funds holding municipal bonds as a way to add duration on the cheap. Closed-end funds offer other ways to pick up income: Paul Winter, CFP and portfolio manager at Five Seasons Financial Planning, likes funds that use buy-write strategies.

☆ These short-term muni ETFs can give investors a healthy tax-free yield
  + stars: | 2023-03-30 | by ( Jesse Pound | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Municipal bond funds can be particularly attractive to investors who face a high tax burden, because their payouts are tax exempt. The new funds haven't been active long-enough to show an official yield, but the more established iShares Short-Term National Muni Bond ETF (SUB) has a tax-equivalent yield of 4.74%. Another factor in favor of municipal bonds is the uncertain economic environment and fear of a possible recession. The BulletShares fund family from Invesco offers several different muni funds with different maturity target dates for investors looking for more specific time-frames. That group expanded with the Invesco BulletShares 2032 Municipal Bond ETF (BSMW) , which launched on March 1.

Six BlackRock municipal-bond funds experienced at least two payout cuts last year. Investors in closed-end funds are feeling a painful consequence of the historic market slump: cuts to their monthly payouts. A Pacific Investment Management Co. California municipal-bond fund slashed dividends by 45% this month, while a Nuveen LLC stock fund endured a 7% cut. Eaton Vance Management in November cut distributions across six stock funds by as much as 24%. Six BlackRock muni funds endured at least two payout cuts last year, with dividends falling by as much as 38% in total.
