Unleveraged Options In The Tax-Exempt Sector
Fund-level leverage is only attractive when carry or capital gains potential is high; current tight spreads and an inverted yield curve make it less appealing. For tax-exempt CEFs, higher yields often come from longer duration, not leverage; unleveraged long-duration funds or ETFs can offer similar or better yields. Investors should not assume more leverage is always better; careful, situation-specific exposure to fund-level leverage is key to balancing risk and return.

NAD: A Proxy For Investment Grade Corporate Exposure
The credit cycle is arguably deteriorating. Thus, we see investors moving out of corporate credit and into Municipal bonds with hybrid general obligation and revenue exposure. Nuveen Quality Muni Income Fund seems like a prime candidate given its GO and revenue exposure. Moreover, it embodies the excess TEY-treasury spreads on offer. Some might oppose its leveraged strategy due to the effect on its expense ratio and the risks leverage adds in down markets. However, we see lower funding costs emerging.

NAD: I See This Fund Pushing Higher Along With The Municipal Sector
Evaluating Nuveen Quality Muni Income Fund as an investment due to its current market price and high yield above 8%. NAD's recent price weakness in 2025 appears overdone, presenting a potential buying opportunity. The fund aims to provide income exempt from federal tax and enhance portfolio value.

CEF Weekly Review: Muni ROC Is Mountain High
We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the third week of December and highlight recent market action. All CEF sectors declined this week due to a more hawkish Fed, with most discounts widening except for the loan sector. The sharp rise in Municipal CEF distributions this year is disproportionate to net income increases, driven by efforts to tighten discounts and deter activists.

NAD Vs. NXP Revisited: Time To Delever
Nuveen Quality Municipal Income Fund distributions are only about 52% covered by investment income. NAD is also leveraged, which helped returns in 2024 but may not be an advantage going forward as rates are no longer falling as fast. Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio is unleveraged and fully covers its dividends with investment income.
