NEA: The Risk-Reward Has Gotten A Little Less Attractive (Rating Downgrade)
Evaluating Nuveen AMT-Free Quality Municipal Income Fund as an investment at its current market price, focusing on tax-exempt municipal securities. Previously rated as a buy in mid-2024 due to income boost and discount to NAV, which proved to be accurate. I am now shifting to a more cautious stance. This is primarily due to a shrinking of the discount and a large reliance on ROC for the fund's distribution.

NEA: Looking At The Positives, And A Future Concern
The Nuveen AMT-Free Quality Municipal Income Fund has experienced a Q4 rally and a boost in income, leading to gains for investors. However, the fund's income boost may not be sustainable, so investors should weigh this carefully if they plan to hold beyond the short-term. Lower inflation is a positive for bonds, including munis. This is because the Fed is unlikely to raise its benchmark rate further.
