MYD: The Wrong End Of The Muni Market For Me

Summary BlackRock MuniYield is a selective, leveraged, closed-end municipal bond fund focused on long tenor and high credit quality holdings. MYD's headline yield is boosted by significant return of capital, so true income yield is closer to 4.55%-4.88% after adjusting for RoC. The fund's strategy prioritizes low credit risk and long duration, exposing investors to higher interest rate risk and potential capital decline as rates rise. I prefer short tenor, lower credit muni funds like SHYM, which offer similar yields with lower capital risk, making MYD less attractive by comparison. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
