FMHI in Focus
The fund’s primary investment objective is to seek to provide federally tax-exempt income, and its secondary objective is long-term capital appreciation.It has AUM of $207.8 million and charges 55 basis points in annual fees.
Why the Move?
These bonds are excellent choices for investors seeking a steady stream of tax-free income. The aggravating pandemic was troubling for muni bonds. Since entities like airports, schools and colleges were closed during the lockdown, munis were severely hurt. Lower levels of tax collections were a concern. Notably, with economies reopening on the back of better COVID-19 metrics, accelerated vaccination reducing health risks, and fiscal stimulus boosting consumers’ financial health, munis have a brighter outlook. This is making funds like FMHI an attractive investment option.
