HYD: Munis Have Momentum And Tailwinds To Keep It Going (Rating Upgrade)
Munis often rise in the months following Fed rate cuts, suggesting there is still time to get in on this play. The fund's California exposure bothers me less given how strong equity returns have been. This means personal income tax revenues in the state will rise next year. High yield munis default less than comparable corporates, supporting positions in this fund.

HYD: Great Tax Equivalent Yield
VanEck High Yield Muni ETF offers high-yield, tax-free income by focusing on municipal bonds, making it attractive for investors in higher tax brackets. The HYD ETF's diversified portfolio includes 1,475 holdings and a 30-day SEC yield of 4.2%, with a taxable equivalent yield of 6.73% for top tax brackets. The fund's broad sector and geographic allocation, with a significant portion in California, adds stability but also focuses risk on specific states.

HYD: Strong Muni Bond ETF, Tax-Advantaged 4.3% Yield
VanEck High Yield Muni ETF is a simple muni bond index ETF. It offers investors a tax-advantaged 4.3% yield. Said yield is higher than average for a muni bond ETF. After-tax yields seem higher than average, too, depending on the specific tax rate.

HYD: The Fed Is Making Things Difficult (Rating Downgrade)
In this review, I look at the VanEck Vectors High Yield Municipal Index ETF as an investment option at its current market price. While there have been recent positive returns seen in this sector, I see a less favorable outlook in the short term. Municipal bonds currently offer higher relative yields compared to the past decade against high-yield corporates. But we have to remember inflation and Fed rates are also relatively high.
