The Nuveen High Yield Municipal Bond Fund Class A (NHMAX) is an actively managed municipal bond fund that seeks to provide a high level of tax-exempt income. NHMAX does this by betting on the high-yield segment of the muni bond market. These bonds are often tied to special projects or are from states/towns with less-than-stellar credit. The fund uses intensive credit and economic trend analysis to find bonds that offer high income with low risk.
Given its mandate for high, tax-free (albeit riskier) income, high earners looking to save on taxes could find the fund a great fit in their taxable accounts. The fund is managed by Nuveen.
