NZF: Buy High-Yield Muni And Expect Good Return In The Next 12 Months
I rate NZF a buy, expecting a double-digit total return in the next 12 months due to attractive yields and a likely rate cut late this year. NZF's 8%+ tax-exempt yield is compelling, especially for high-income investors. The muni fund could also see price gains due to the NAV discount and favorite price move, adding total returns. Stock market such as the S&P 500 may prove to be more challenging to get double-digit gains from the current level, after the V-shape rebound.

NZF: A High Yielding, Well Run CEF, But The Distribution Is Likely Not Sustainable
NZF offers a high distribution yield of 7.33%, but its earnings coverage ratio and negative UNII suggest a possible future distribution cut. The fund's discount to NAV is currently -5.24%, below its 6-month average, indicating a less favorable buying opportunity. NZF has a leverage ratio of 39.49% and an average leverage cost of 4.28%, with a significant interest rate exposure of 12.98 years.
