XMPT: An Expensive Fund Of Funds
XMPT is a fund of funds ETF investing in municipal bond CEFs, resulting in two layers of management fees without clear outperformance. The fund's appeal lies in tax-free income, making it attractive for higher-rate US taxpayers seeking yield, but less so for others. XMPT's 1.98% expense ratio is high, eroding yield and offering little value versus building a diversified muni CEF portfolio directly.
