SPDR Nuveen ICE High Yield Municipal Bond ETF

The SPDR Nuveen Bloomberg High Yield Municipal Bond ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investors with exposure to high yield municipal bonds, which are debt securities issued by municipalities that offer higher interest rates due to their lower credit ratings. This ETF aims to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Yield Index. It primarily functions as a tool for investors looking to access the municipal bond market with the potential for higher yields, albeit with added risk compared to investment-grade municipal bonds. The ETF includes bonds that finance a wide range of public projects across the United States, impacting sectors such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, and more. As a part of the municipal bond market, which is notable for being generally tax-exempt at the federal level, this ETF provides an opportunity to invest in public projects while potentially receiving income that may be exempt from federal taxes. The SPDR Nuveen Bloomberg High Yield Municipal Bond ETF plays a significant role in diversifying portfolios for investors seeking municipal bonds with higher yields paired with the trade-offs of increased credit risk.
