RiverNorth Flexible Municipal Income Fund II

RFMZ

Market cap $312M

RFMZ offers exposure to both muni CEFs and individual bonds, but high leverage and layered fees limit its appeal for municipal bond investors. The fund's managed distribution policy boosts yield, but coverage is weak, and much of the payout is tax-deferred return of capital, not tax-exempt income. RFMZ and its sister funds are best used as swap candidates to exploit discount/premium differentials, but current discounts are less compelling.

RiverNorth Flexible Municipal Income Fund II (RFMZ) offers exposure to individual municipal bonds and muni bond-focused CEFs, managed by MacKay Shields and RiverNorth. The fund's high leverage and fees result in low net investment income, with performance needing to be driven by active management for potential capital gains. RFMZ trades at an attractive discount and has outperformed RiverNorth Managed Duration Municipal Income Fund (RMM), as we highlighted these two as swap candidates previously.
