Description: HIMU High Yield Muni Active

The iShares High Yield Muni Active ETF (HIMU) operates under a stated investment policy requiring it to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings made for investment purposes, in municipal bonds. This 80% threshold is a standard fundamental policy used by U.S. funds to define their primary asset class focus, and changes to it typically require shareholder notice.

Municipal bonds are debt securities issued by U.S. state, local, and certain federal-territory governments, often used to fund public infrastructure such as schools, highways, and utilities. High yield municipal bonds generally refer to issues rated below investment grade, which carry higher credit risk but typically offer higher yields than investment-grade munis, with income that is frequently exempt from federal (and sometimes state) income tax.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Federal Reserve rate cuts lift high yield muni bond prices
  • State fiscal stress widens high yield credit spreads
  • Tax-equivalent yield appeal drives retail muni ETF inflows
