Financial journalist opinion

NVG: Converting Capital Into Income

NVG is a closed-end municipal bond fund, leveraging credit and interest rate risk to maximize tax-free income for high-income investors. The fund is AMT-free and targets investors facing high federal income tax rates, but its appeal is limited by its capital return distribution. A significant portion of NVG's distribution is return of capital, not earned income, which raises concerns about sustainability and suitability.

NVG: Distribution Increase Leads To Expected Discount Narrowing

Several Nuveen municipal bond closed-end funds aggressively raised distributions earlier this year, one of those funds being NVG. NVG's high leverage and potential mixture of lower credit quality exposure offer higher yields, but that does come with increased risks. Despite recent Fed rate cuts, coverage of the distribution is likely to remain weak, this is likely to lead to a mix of tax-free and tax-deferred income classified distributions.
